You need a newer mesa version (from git) for the GL_EXT_texture_format_BGRA8888 error. The DRM mode didnt work well for me with the r600 pageflipping patches.. Maybe you have more luck.
But wayland does work good with r600 using the x11-compositor. -Ben 2011/1/25 <den...@online.de>: > Hi, > > I am trying to run Wayland on an Arch Linux system with kernel 2.6.38 and > Mesa git.
