Hello, can anyone shed a light on the background of the packaging decisions? Alex Deucher suggest that libgl1-mesa-dri might become the official DRI driver source in the future
http://mailman.linux-thinkpad.org/pipermail/linux-thinkpad/2006-January/031585.html I considered installing libgl1-mesa-dri, but actually I do not like this too much, as I would like to be able to compile a KDE application spontaneously ;): [EMAIL PROTECTED]:/sys -> LANG=en_GB apt-get install libgl1-mesa-dri/unstable Reading package lists...

I think I wil stick with the manual installation approach for the DRI driver unless I know more about the background of those packaging decisions ;-) or unless xlibmesa-dri contains the savage driver.
