If you think this might be a good idea, I'd be happy to help. I've got xlibmesa4-drm-src working in my local -2 tree, the fact that the 'xfree86-dri-source' package exists is a total snafu. I flogged the code for that from Michel (as opposed to Michael) Daenzer's work with dri-trunk. :) d -- Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
