I expected so, they're separate problems. The vtxfmt problem has been
fixed in DRI CVS, it's a matter of someone extracting the fix and
backporting it to 4.3. (please check the dri-devel archives and
cooperate with Charl P. Botha <c.p.botha@its.tudelft.nl> if you intend
to)

You don't have to try all permutations as some variables encompass
others (RADEON_NO_RAST encompasses RADEON_TCL_FORCE_DISABLE encompasses
RADEON_NO_VTXFMT encompasses RADEON_NO_CODEGEN) and others only serve
diagnostic purposes.

Fair enough, I'm not sure to what degree that's worth it though as
they're mainly for debugging and working around bugs.
