You should probably be using XFree86 4.x, which means the only thing the two mesa packages provide you are libglut, which I don't think has changed much. Our Mesa packages really need to get cleaned up I think. I have split-out ports for libglut and mesa-demos from 5.0.2 ready, I think, and I'm working on updating mesagl to 5.0.2 and making it only build for XFree86 3.3.x users. In the process, I'll update the USE_MESAing ports to point to libglut if necessary, update USE_MESA to point to mesagl, and retire Mesa3 unless there are objections. Hopefully I'll have time to do this after the ports freeze ends. -- Eric Anholt eta@lclark.edu http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/ anholt@FreeBSD.org
