Nouveau - Mar 2008 - Current state - how to get gallium-stuff running?

Hi,

As the last tindc said something about 3d really working on nv4x, I wanted to 
try that ( on a NV43). Built nouveau/mesa -> gallium-0.1 branch of mesa and 
git head of libdrm, kernel-drm and xf86-video-nouveau.

glxinfo says:
nouveau DRI driver expected DDX version 1-1.2.x but got version 0.0.10

So I assume I need some other branch of xf86-video-nouveau (?)

I asked in irc but was pointed that it's not the right place to ask, though
I
didn't find any information in the wiki. Can someone give me some pointers? 
I'd volunteer to write some wiki documentation if I get it running.

First, the obligatory disclaimer: "really working" doesn't exactly
translate to "Wooo!  I can drop that annoying binary blob!".  You
should
be able to get textured OpenGL support, and be able to run OpenArena at
reasonable framerates until it crashes, though :).

I've seen other people reporting this error.  I've never seen it myself,
which suggests to me that it's user error _somewhere_ :).  Can you
describe the exact steps you took, and their output.

For reference, after building & installing git head of libdrm &
xf86-video-nouveau, I can clone the
git://anongit.freedesktop.org/nouveau/mesa repository, check out the
gallium-0.1 branch and "make linux-dri-x86-64 DRI_DIRS=nouveau" to
build.  Then exporting LD_LIBRARY_PATH and LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH to point
to the mesa lib/ directory, I could run OpenArena, glxgears, etc.  Not
as of yesterday; it would die in emit_fence, but that's the right
process.
