On systems with ATI cards the 3D raytracer Blender segfaults when trying to display the first screen, see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/446632
Backtraces located the problem in the mesa package. By installing various binary packages of mesa that were created during the release of Karmic I determined the last "good" version of mesa is 7.6.0~git20090817.7c422387-0ubuntu8 The next available one (7.6.0-1ubuntu1) produces the above mentioned segfault. Geir Ove asked for a git-bisect to determine the patch responsible. If I understand this process correctly, this is a binary search in a git-tree between the last known good and the first bad snapshot. But can anyone tell me the URL of that particular git repository? I presume that this is an Ubuntu repo. And I assume that there is a way to find out which commit-ids relate to the above mentioned builds...
