I just updated and recompiled today.  By the testing branch, you mean 
master on your repo?  Or?

Could you give me the date and commit?  I did a git whatchanged and 
didn't see a recent commit that looked likely from the commit comment, 
and didn't see a testing branch on your repo, thus the wondering whether 
I'm trying the correct repo, above.

Assuming I compiled the correct sources (master on yours), I'll let you 
know if I see any more "blank" posts...

Now I need to restart X as I just updated to mesa-7.7-rc2 and
xf86-video-ati-9999 (gentoo version code for live scm, git there as 
well), with a commit in the ati/radeon driver that should fix some of the 
flashing, etc, I'm seeing.  The commit says it's the PLL.  (The xf86-
video-ati-6.13 series that has opengl for my brand new radeon hd4650, 
rv730 chip, is git-only at this point, not even a beta release yet...)
