Comment 14 for bug 946677

Hi Tormod and Bryce, thanks for the interest in this. Sorry I've been a bit long getting back to you about this - I don't check this email address often enough!!

I don't know if I can help much with the details of the mesa-legacy package setup, but I am always up for testing stuff. Is it something planned for 12.10 onwards or can it be installed in 12.04? I've found your ppa https://launchpad.net/~xorg-edgers/+archive/mesa-legacy/+packages . I'm afraid how the various graphics drivers work and fit together is a bit beyond me at the moment.

I only really use opengl stuff for desktop effects and I've been a bit down about how to get something decent in 12.04 onwards. Kwin has been crashing when I unminimise windows ( https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=657596 ) and compiz (even compiling the latest stable version) has been a bit crashtastic. Suddenly yesterday I noticed that kwin nolonger is crashing and has been rock solid. I'm over the moon about it. I have no idea what has fixed it, but I am intent on finding out!

Let me know if I can be of any help with the mesa-legacy package(s).
