[ubuntu-x] Bug #446632 - SIGSEGV in GPU_state_init()

[Michael Strecke]

On systems with ATI cards  the 3D raytracer Blender segfaults when
trying to display the first screen, see
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/mesa/+bug/446632

Backtraces located the problem in the mesa package.

By installing various binary packages of mesa that were created during
the release of Karmic I determined the last "good" version of mesa is
7.6.0~git20090817.7c422387-0ubuntu8
The next available one (7.6.0-1ubuntu1) produces the
above mentioned segfault.

Geir Ove asked for a git-bisect to determine the patch responsible.

If I understand this process correctly, this is a binary search in a
git-tree between the last known good and the first bad snapshot.

But can anyone tell me the URL of that particular git repository? I
presume that this is an Ubuntu repo.

And I assume that there is a way to find out which commit-ids relate to
the above mentioned builds...

Thanks


Mike
