Hi,
I thought there were some good tutorials on this around, but I could
not find any. So I started one at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/X/BisectingMesa
but I could need some help to test and finish it. I just wrote what I
could remember and cut and paste from a few places. If it gets in good
shape I can move/copy/link it to http://dri.freedesktop.org.

BTW, as shown in the wiki, use the upstream repo since there is no
complete mesa git repo for Ubuntu.

The nice thing about bisecting mesa is that you do not need to install
the drivers, restart X or reboot to test it out.

Cheers,
Tormod
