My main interest is the GLX 1.4 support in xserver 1.8. I'm not
exactly sure how much that's causing problems for free software
drivers' users, but there might be some hordes of eg. close source
games which only work with 1.4 - anyone with more information? And
it's not even GLX 1.4 "support", it's AFAIK just an additional
definition that "btw, DRI2-enabled drivers support GLX 1.4".

I think it's just
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=ad5c0d9efa47476ed5cf75c82265c73919e468b4
and a clarifying patch
http://cgit.freedesktop.org/xorg/xserver/commit/?id=4c6bfa2c09ae2b0cffdf9211a6dfbcaefe0366b5
- if someone happens to have an known example applications that
require 1.4, might be worth trying and finding out if it would be
beneficial enough to even include those two commits as patches to 1.7.
