Irom Nike: You should be able to try out the .deb file posted above, but
be warned that it is an untested binary and may break something.  If you
installed the jaunty-updates version of mesa, then you may need all the
mesa related packages updated with the patch versions.  I am on my
laptop (a 64bit platform) right now and 300kms from home, but I could
assist in compiling a full set of 32bit binaries once I get home, since
my home server is a 32bit OS.  I might even be able to compile them
remotely, but I have been having troubles with that computer since I
upgraded it to jaunty (Almost a cliche).  It isn't jaunty's fault on
that machine, it has been sick for some time, the upgrade just exposed
its issues.

BTW.  I have done more tests with that patch against desktop effects,
games, wined3d, etc.  It has been rock solid for me, but my computer has
no TCL.  I am uncertain whether a card with TCL would break or not.

Bryce Harrington: I am curious if a personal ppa is in order?  Will this
patch get pushed to updates or backports?  If not, I am ok to open a ppa
in the mean time for only those with cards that are suffering until the
radeon-rewrite code becomes the norm.  In testing this code on my 200M
fairly well with all the 3d pressure of desktop effects with magic lamp
and desktop cube enabled, it hasn't crashed once and has run like a
dream.  It is faster than I ever remember my card functioning and the
constant memory leak issues that I used to experience seem to have gone
away.  Videos that used to pin my cpu (3d texture mapped) now don't even
make the computer busy at all.  3D video games run faster than I ever
remember them running, and likewise don't tax the computer anymore, and
the general stability of the system seems to have improved.  Obviously,
because of the reduced cpu usage my computer consistently runs cooler
and the battery lasts longer.  I would like those with TCL capabilities
to offer their experiences too.  If it locks up TCL supporting cards, we
obviously can't send the patch to the updates repo, but we can reserve
it only to certain models in a ppa.
