According to a message Martin Grässlin sent to the KDE packagers mailing list (sorry, no archive, the list is not public), this is a new requirement for 4.7: at least Mesa 7.10 is required. BTW, the Mesa we have in ports seems to be 7.4.4, not 7.6.1. Some references I can point to: 1. http://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2011/05/the-compositing-modes-of-kde-plasma-workspaces-explained/ 2. http://commits.kde.org/kde-workspace/ae63f84ba102cff532adbf403ac088522365425f 3. http://commits.kde.org/kde-workspace/afe966579d56f85444c432a3a6adf026d2941bd5 When I contacted Martin at the time of his announcement, he said this verification was to ensure all the drivers used KMS (and their development experience only went back as far as Mesa 7.7; 7.4.4 is old enough for KWin bug reports with it to be ignored) and thus didn't break.
