Description Sense Hofstede 2011-02-11 07:06:23 UTC 
When you use the experimental Gallium3D driver of Nouveau to enable DRI, Compiz will actually try to run, but it will be abort because of the following assertion error:
"compiz: nv50_pc_emit.c:863: emit_flop: Assertion `STYPE(i, 0) == 0x09' failed."

It seems that this only happens with PCI-E cards that have the NV50 chip.

Also to add this is used to work with mesa 7.9 the update to 7.10 broke things.

This is fixed by the nv50 part of the commit:

I've done a piglit run on my NV98 system against the 7.10 branch; this shows no difference with or without the cherry-pick.  So this doesn't regress anything obvious, but there's also clearly a piglit test to be written :).
