As far as I can tell, it doesn't, and only says what is required to be exported, and that applications shouldn't statically link to other functions. The way things are now, some applications that work with nVidia or ATI implementations will fail to link or fail to load with Mesa, which seems undesirable. A bug on this has just been reported. -- Start uncovering the many advantages of virtual appliances and start using them to simplify application deployment and accelerate your shift to cloud computing. http://p.sf.net/sfu/novell-sfdev2dev ___ Mesa3d-dev mailing list Mesa3d-dev@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/mesa3d-dev
