Of course. I was just wondering if and how the DRI stuff is currently
integrated in your packages. I see the *_dri.so modules are in the
xserver-xfree86 package - they are useless without libGL though, so wouldn't
they rather belong there?
And I was wondering if it would be appropriate to include the changes from my
PPC DRI branch into your packages so that we have working DRI in the powerpc
packages now. May be better to wait until it finds its way into the XFree86
CVS though...
