Re: [cooker-amd64] Testing 32-bit libGL thunks

I indeed made a quick test from a previous 9.2 install. Simply install 
the new kernel and the relevant dependencies (sysfsutils, mkinitrd, 
module-init-tools) + update to the new XFree86 packages. Then, reboot 
and check that 3D acceleration still works in 64-bit world.

For 32-bit stuff, install libxfree86 + deps from any 10.0/ia32 mirror. 
If you had the 9.2 CDs, all deps are already installed, simply rpm -Fvh 
the newer libxfree86 (-28mdk works). Then, in some temp directory, 
rpm2cpio XFree86-server-4.3-28mdk.i586.rpm | cpio -id; cp 
./usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/.

Extra interesting tools: glxinfo & glxgears from a 32-bit xf86 package 
too. You may need 32-bit libMesaGLU1 for glxinfo though.

Hope this helps.

Bye,
Gwenole.
