Hi,

Just followed your "advice" and tried the latest mesa HEAD... That did 
not turn out the way I expected.

1. My GDM crashes are now happening very frequent, even without going to 
pages with flash. It can happen at basically any time - while switching 
workspaces or dragging windows around
2. The issue with my external monitor on HDMI is still present (black 
screen on login)...
3. The drawing of my desktop seems nicer on the external monitor, 
however, on the build in screen it's the same.

Have not tried 3d performance though... I have reverted to stable Q3 
release for now. Might try again in a few weeks.
