No prob, I thought my message to you must have got killed by a one of my frequent VPN outages. ;o) >The option we're talking about is the 'GlxBuiltInXMesa' token seen >in xc/lib/GL/Imakefile.

Hmm, that's a bit more experimental of a codepath than I can probably get away with, although DRI trunk would be nice for gamers for sure most likely. ;o) How difficult would it be for me to backport the necessary changes to 3.4.2? What part of the code should I look at? I'm not too familiar with the current codebase in DRI CVS. In the worst case, I can revert back to our horrible hack of using the external Mesa patched with DRI support. I just wanted to explore all sane possibilities first to avoid our current insanity. ;o) Thanks Brian, TTYL -- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Mike A.
