Probably, but I understand Red Hat is cooking up a wrapper library that will somehow figure out which of several Mesa (GL) versions is demanded and LD_PRELOAD the right one for the application. We can probably adapt such a thing to our own purposes. Right now I'm just trying to cross the bridge of preliminary .debs.

Often your tone implies to me that you expect me to solve all of these problems for you. Debian is a group effort, and a volunteer effort. I can only accomplish so much and I have to prioritize the time I do have. Working for Progeny is greatly increasting the amount of time I can contribute, but there are still only so many hours in the day. Furthermore, I'm simply not experienced with the internals of the X source code. Especially not driver-level stuff. > And please, don't take it bad, i just told you that, because i thought of it, > and i thought that you, the all mighty Xfree maintainer could maybe benefit > from it ? See my above remarks about "tone". > (BTW, XF4 will not run with matroxfb on my work box, so i reverted to 3.3.6) Again, is this 4.0 or 4.0.1? -- G.
