I was playing with Will Andrew's update to the Mesa3 port, which compiles, and means that you can use later utah-glx code out the box. I managed to update the glx port to a later snapshot, but haven't been able to get around to 1. Getting a good (ie stable) tarball on a fixed distribution site, 2. Verifying that it actually works, or 3. Polishing up the port. This is just more a pointer, that later (and faster) GLX code can work with XFree86 3.3.6 and Mesa 3.1. -Jeremy -- FreeBSD - Because the best things in life are free... http://www.freebsd.org/ To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-multimedia" in the body of the message
