We were talking internally the other day about what the best way is for
the developers, for users to report Xair related bugs is, and the
overall concensus, is that in a short period of time, the
accel_indirect_glx branch of X.Org CVS will be merged to head, and the
primary CVS HEAD Xorg will become the home of future development, at
which point bugs should be reported to X.Org bugzilla's CVS HEAD
version.

It's not there yet, but it will be soon, so what we decided to do, is to
get people who are experiencing bugs with Xair (on any OS, including
Fedora), to report their bug in X.Org bugzilla at
http://bugs.freedesktop.org against the 'xorg' product, version
"CVS HEAD", and make sure to start the summary line with:

     "[aiglx] <your summary here>"

Assign the bug to Kristian - krh at bitplanet.net

That should easily distinguish to developers, that it is Xair that
is being reported, and it centralizes all bug reports to a common
bugzilla.

Thanks in advance.
