The mesa 7.7 series is a is a dev release series right? Not sure that's
so good for LTS.. also I think most of the big new stuff in mesa is gallium
bits which are not stable enough for mainstream anyway. For smaller things
I think it's better to stay on 7.6 and backport specifics. I havn't used
mesa 7.7 though and I havn't seen the changelog either.
