                          <p>Hi William,</p>
                          <p>The only way I know to verify the patch is
                            in place (other than by testing in myth
                            using opengl) is to look at the source. Look
                            at that function I mentioned in the earlier
                            post, and see if it includes the additional
                            null pointer check. Or, I suppose if you are
                            already in contact with the xorg devs, just
                            ask them directly.</p>
                          <p>I&#39;m afraid I can&#39;t think of any other way
                            to check. Hope that helps!<span><font color="#888888"><br>

                                    I may be the &quot;other person&quot; who has
                                    been referred to several times<br>
                                    in this thread, as I did exactly
                                    that: I patched the intel_screen.c<br>
                                    file and rebuilt mesa, and now have
                                    a nicely working OpenGL-based<br>
                                    SNB frontend (which I&#39;m proud to say
                                    is also quite small and<br>
                                    low-power :).<br>
                                    <br>
                                    &gt; From my skimming of this
                                    thread, it looks like the individual
                                    with<br>
                                    the patching issues is running
                                    Ubuntu.  I&#39;m running CentOS plus<br>
                                    ATrpms (for MythTV) and elrepo for
                                    newer Intel video drivers and<br>
                                    supporting packages (in particular,
                                    mesa).<br>
                                    <br>
                                    What I did was simply download the
                                    source RPM for mesa from elrepo,<br>
                                    manually hack the intel_screen.c
                                    file according to the patch, and<br>
                                    rebuild.  I don&#39;t know how to do
                                    this with Ubuntu/debian packages,<br>
                                    but I can&#39;t imagine the process is
                                    dramatically different from an<br>
                                    RPM-based distro.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    FWIW, the patch that has been
                                    mentioned doesn&#39;t apply cleanly to
                                    the<br>
                                    mesa source from elrepo, because
                                    it&#39;s a slightly older version:<br>
                                    looks like the mesa-20111103
                                    snapshot.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    But the patch is super simple.  Just
                                    look for the function<br>
                                    &quot;intelDRI2Flush()&quot; in the file
                                    mentioned above.  It should be near<br>
                                    the top of the file.  Just replace
                                    that function definition with<br>
                                    this one:<br>
                                    <br>
                                    static void<br>
                                    intelDRI2Flush(__DRIdrawable
                                    *drawable)<br>
                                    {<br>
                                       GET_CURRENT_CONTEXT(ctx);<br>
                                       struct intel_context *intel =
                                    intel_context(ctx);<br>
                                    <br>
                                       if (intel != NULL) { /* add
                                    this... */<br>
                                           if (intel-&gt;gen&lt;  4)<br>
                                             
                                     INTEL_FIREVERTICES(intel);<br>
                                    <br>
                                           intel-&gt;need_throttle =
                                    GL_TRUE;<br>
                                    <br>
                                           if (intel-&gt;batch.used)<br>
                                             
                                     intel_batchbuffer_flush(intel);<br>
                                       } /* ...and this */<br>
                                    }<br>
                                    <br>
                                    As I commented above, the patch just
                                    adds two lines, which just do a<br>
                                    NULL pointer safety check.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    So, generic instructions would be:<br>
                                    <br>
                                        - get your distro&#39;s newest mesa
                                    source package<br>
                                        - unpack it (e.g. RPMs are
                                    really cpio archives)<br>
                                        - track down the intel_screen.c
                                    file and patch (or manually<br>
                                          edit) it as described above<br>
                                        - re-package the mesa source
                                    package<br>
                                        - use your distro&#39;s source
                                    package build tool to build a binary<br>
                                          package (e.g. rpmrebuild for
                                    RPM-based distros)<br>
                                    <br>
                                    Working with your distro&#39;s source
                                    packages should be well-documented<br>
                                    (at least for major distros like
                                    Ubuntu and Fedora).<br>
                                    <br>
                                    The other option is to wait: I also
                                    reported my success with this on<br>
                                    the elrepo mailing list.  The elrepo
                                    mesa maintainer said he didn&#39;t<br>
                                    want to update the package with a
                                    patch that wasn&#39;t committed<br>
                                    (according to this thread, it is
                                    now, but wasn&#39;t when I made the<br>
                                    comment).  So I would imagine that
                                    package maintainers will probably<br>
                                    be open to incorporating this patch
                                    into their builds now that it&#39;s<br>
                                    officially committed... I might
                                    request it for elrepo if I get<br>
                                    around to it.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    In other words, with this patch
                                    officially committed, it will<br>
                                    eventually make its way into
                                    different distro&#39;s mesa builds.<br>
                                    <br>
                                    HTH,<br>
                                    Matt<br>

                                  Matt<br>
                                  I appreciate your input on this issue.
                                  Not being a programmer, I can&#39;t get my
                                  brain wrapped around all that needs to
                                  be considered or done to test this
                                  patch. With that said, I have setup
                                  with xorg-edgers in anticipation that
                                  the patch will work it&#39;s way down
                                  stream. I contacted one of the dev&#39;s
                                  at xorg-edgers and he replied that the
                                  patch should be available within a
                                  week or two ( that was about a week
                                  ago). I have since received a couple
                                  of updates from them but I&#39;m not sure
                                  if the patch was included. Is there a
                                  way to check (other than just trying
                                  vaapi with mythtv) to see if the patch
                                  is included or has been received by
                                  me?<br>
