I should add that some of my motivation was wrong: I believed libudev always required a running udev. A very easy misconception to make with the naming, and with the responses I think others thought so too. The subset of libudev used in mesa *does not* require a running udev, or even installed udev. It's merely a /sys wrapper. Since this is important to know, I would ask this be added into the documentation (both docs/ and configure --help). So with that cleared up, I have no big objections to requiring libudev on linux. It should not be required for dri2 in general due to BSDs and other such systems, though. - Lauri _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
