This what I have done so far and I plan to do : 1. I have downloaded the source code for libgl1-mesa-dri now the version I have is 10.3.2 in the threads it look like this patch was applied to 10.1.1 will that be an issue?
2. I have not done a patch before so I am following the instruction here <http://jungels.net/articles/diff-patch-ten-minutes.html>. If anyone has objects please let me know. 3. After I applycj the pat I just compile and install the driver or should I uninstall the current one before I install this one? Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
