I wouldn't necessarily blame bsd-3-0-0 for that -- there have been major changes to the radeon driver since 4.2 -- if he could retest against the trunk that would be more interesting. In any case I'm not too concerned about gears performance, it rarely reflects anything interesting. > I'm mostly concerned with that last point, but I still don't think it > should stop a merge.

It isn't too hard -- the CVS policies document on dri.sf.net gives a very good step-by-step guide to this. Just test where it says to test... Read it & see if you're still unsure.
