Please notice that nowhere in my email did I address mesa support.
I solely addressed the issue of pure opengl support.
"supporting mesa" is in no way interchangable with that.
It hasnt even occurred to me to even check if utah-glx even properly
fulfils that (ie: is it a lacking in the library itself, or just
a mispackaging issue?)
That's not a particular goal of the utah-glx project, although it might
also fulfil it as a side effect of including mesa source.
PS: I'm part of the 'upstream' team.
But no, I dont have enough time to take over debian packaging of it.
Sorry :-|
