At the moment I have to do quite a bit of hacking of MESA to do this, especially when using openGL (via osmesa) to 'help' some legacy framebuffer code that runs under SDL. It would be really nice if mesa could be made to take some notice of DISTRO_FEATURES (e.g. X11) and build a 'sensible' version. So, my 'vote' would be to include a working version. Please :-) More than happy to help out if there's anything I can do...
