Since Mesa 7.5 when running the non-glut version of glxgears (still shipped with X.Org 6.9; I'm going to attach it) and focusing the glxgears window the screen gets blanked (only the mouse cursor is still visible). Clicking outside of this window, i.e. unfocusing it, fixes the issue. This is a regression since Mesa 7.4.4. Apart from Mesa 7.5 I'm using xorg-server 1.6.3, xf86-video-ati 6.12.2, libdrm 2.4.11 and Kernel 2.6.31-rc5. It should be easily reproducable with the attached glxinfo version. It is *not* with the GLUT version in Mesa.
Created attachment 28662 [details] glxdemos.tar.bz2 Non-glut version of glxinfo, which shipped with X.Org 6.9.

The issue is fixed in Mesa 7.5.1. Not sure if by accident or by intention though.
Not a duplicate, fixed in 7.5.1 and Git mesa_7_4_branch.
