We have a pre-release snapshot of 7.9 in maverick currently, and are dealing with the resultant bugs. Whether Mesa 7.9 final depends entirely on whether Mesa releases the final version in time for the Ubuntu final freeze. I wouldn't hold my breath. -- [FFe] Mesa 7.9

A point to consider for risk/benefit of this change is that if we don't get this update in, for Kubuntu we will have to patch kwin to blacklist the blur/lanczos effects and to revert to indirect rendering from direct. Upstream will help with the patch, but doesn't have hardware to actually test

I don't think piglit testing is sufficient to prove that compiz will work correctly. That said, there's very little that actually *uses* the software rasteriser - you can't run Compiz on it, you can't run KWin's OpenGL desktop effects, and many games will fail to run, too. I'll test swrast on my
