Mesa needs an update?

[Morgan Howe]

After upgrading from F18 to F19 using fedup, I was getting a segfault
starting Xorg[1]. It turns out my case seemed almost identical to another
case[2], but since they seemed to be from separate drivers I filed a
separate bug. The catalyst driver also did not work for me, but for an
entirely different reason. (My ASUS laptop has a Radeon HD 7730M) I didn't
have time to look into it further at that point, so I just filed the bug
and did weekly yum upgrades, hoping a package would get fixed or bumped
that would fix my problem. As of today, that still had not happened and no
one had responded to my bug report. Having a bit of free time, I decided to
look into it. Since the stack trace seemed to indicate the mesa-dri-drivers
were at fault (I accidentally forgot the stack trace in the bug report, but
it is almost identical to that in [2], replacing sis_drv with radeon_dri),
I rebuilt the latest from git and tried that. After replacing the old
version with the newly built radeon_dri.so, I was able to boot into X
without a problem.

The latest mesa in the repos still does not solve this problem, so I just
wanted to bring it to the maintainer's attention that an update for this
package should probably be expedited.

Best regards,
Morgan
