Public bug reported:

Hi,

I'm currently testing 12.04 on my PowerPC iBook.  It is reverting to the
software rasterizer.  Here is the relevant bit of the xorg log:

[    29.603] (II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable
[    29.603] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[    29.603] drmOpenDevice: open result is 12, (OK)
[    29.603] drmOpenByBusid: Searching for BusID pci:0000:00:10.0
[    29.603] drmOpenDevice: node name is /dev/dri/card0
[    29.604] drmOpenDevice: open result is 12, (OK)
[    29.604] drmOpenByBusid: drmOpenMinor returns 12
[    29.604] drmOpenByBusid: Interface 1.4 failed, trying 1.1
[    29.604] drmOpenByBusid: drmGetBusid reports pci:0000:00:10.0
[    29.616] (EE) AIGLX error: r200 does not export required DRI extension
[    29.616] (EE) AIGLX: reverting to software rendering
[    29.622] (II) AIGLX: Loaded and initialized swrast
[    29.622] (II) GLX: Initialized DRISWRAST GL provider for screen 0

I think the important bit is "error: r200 does not export required DRI
extension".  Am I correct in thinking that only KMS is now supported by
libgl1-mesa-dri?

If so this is a big problem for PowerPC.  Kernel Mode Setting with
radeon cards and PowerPC is still very shakey.  I can only get my iBook
to not crash under KMS using the radeon.agpmode=-1 parameter (i.e.
forcing PCI mode).  Also, there is no suspend under KMS with PowerPC.

Would it be possible to build back in Userspace Mode Setting support for
r200 cards?

Thanks!
