Hi Martin, I cannot speak for the others but your email is way too long. I doubt anyone will read it. Let me just point out the following: "Mesa is our most important upstream and KWin (together with Compiz and Mutter) are your most important downstreams." is not even close to be true. They're very important, but they're not even close to be the most important. Reality is that no one is getting paid to make sure KWin works on latest Mesa3D and that by itself makes it pretty insignificant. In fact there's very few people running KDE as their main DE at all here. Your plead to understand that KWin has only three developer falls on deaf ears given that basically everyone here works 12 hour jobs as it is. The reality is that if you want things to never break you'll need to make sure of that yourself. I'd probably start with some Piglit tests. Otherwise I suggest you subscribe and keep that mouse cursor on "report new bug" button our bugzilla. z _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
