As far as I'm aware, ES without Desktop GL is disallowed only because it was discovered to be broken, which is because no one working on Mesa appears to test it. If you can test it (and provide patches when you notice that it's broken) I don't have a problem with allowing ES-only builds. _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
