2002-02-08 Thread Andrew James Richardson
Hello there, I've been avidly looking at the DRI web site on the status page to see if there is any mention of the main CVS trunk code being Mesa 4.x yet. For me this is quite important as I have patches to Mesa 4.x for SMP vertex/light/tex trans that I wrote ~6 months ago and have been dyin
