Sorry to hear that, as the i810 snapshot doesn't work at all on my system (Xorg crashes on startup).

Hi, As you may have noticed, DRI binary snapshots have not been updated for a while. The reason was that I've been too busy to keep up with technical changes that would be needed to make the snapshots actually work. I have now invested a little time looking into the problems of including an Xserver binary into the snapshots and I'm getting increasingly frustrated. Partially installing current modular Xorg binaries on a monolithic system requires too many hacks and workarounds. I'm also having doubts that in the age of modular Xorg, binary snapshots are all that useful any more. Once a system is upgraded to modular, it should be possible to upgrade only a few components from source. No more need to download and build an entire monolithic X tree. There is also a sane build system in place now (though some argue otherwise ;-) that most enthusiasts are familiar with. So instead of wasting my time on tracking Xorg CVS (and other SCMs) and hacking up a partial binary distribution with increasing effort over time I'd rather work on the documentation, explaining how to build and test the latest driver changes in a modular Xorg environment. Maybe I'll even have some fun with Xgl and Compiz. :) That means, I am now officially suspending DRI binary snapshot builds. If anyone feels like resurrecting them, feel free to do so. All the scripts are in CVS.
