    That's part of my problem. I don't really know what should be tested.
    What do people do with their BE machines that we should avoid breaking?

    I suppose correlating with what Gerd was testing would be nice, i.e.
    does X.org with modesetting look right with and without GLAMOR? Maybe
    you also want to throw in xf86-video-nouveau for comparison.

    As to what apps to test those with... Gerd? I presume anything that does
    *not* use OpenGL, since we have doubts of Mesa's correctness on BE,
    right? So maybe some of the traditional ancient X11 apps? xterm with
    colours?

    However, I totally agree with Alex that someone with a BE machine
    should review the whole stack before we could be confident with anything.


    Thanks,
