So, can you make a nice report of that - along with 'dmesg' for _both_
cases - to the right people?

In this case, that would be at a minimum James, Dave and Ben (added
here to the list of people), along with the dri-devel mailing list.

( For people newly added to the cc: the revert in question is the
revert of dfe63bb0ad9. It was committed mainline in commit
3632ef89091, but apparently there's still something missing because
that isn't sufficient any more )

I've tested a bit here, current git with the revert does appear to work
fine for me.

So Anca has a 8800GT - is that what you're testing?

Also, there may be things like FB config issues and/or kernel command
line arguments. For example, on the Intel side, we had people who had
non-working Intel modesetting because they had VESAFB and the legacy
INTELFB enabled. Did some ordering change so that perhaps having VESA
enabled took priority and then breaks the accelerated case or
something?

I don't have an 8800 in the office, testing on a Quadro FX 570M, which
is identical from an acceleration standpoint.

Also confirmed the revert fixes the same issue on GTX465, and NV44/NV4B
(GeForce 6/7 boards).

Not that I can think of, I'll wait until I see Anca's dmesg from after
the revert.
