I've pulled in most of the r600 driver fixes from master into 7.6 and at this point the driver is pretty solid. The only major remaining issue for general usage is the fact that text typed in terminals under dri1 with GL compositers running doesn't show up for some reason. Works fine with dri1 and copy/pasting text in the terminal also works fine. If anyone has any ideas it would be nice to get this fixed for 7.6.
