James Treacy (current Mesa maintainer) and I have agreed on the latter solution. libGLU will not be regarded as provided by the "libgl1" virtual package. > Secondly, no dri tdfx support is included in the packages. The tdfx > support depends on glide3 libraries compiled with DRI support. Yes, which is why I turned it off. XFree86 goes looking for a file, g3ext.h, which does not exist in the current glide3 release. I think it is in CVS. Therefore I am not building 3Dfx DRI support until this is remedied in the Debian packages of glide3. I've already notified the maintainer, Joseph Carter, of this. > I also tried to get dri support to work by copying the tdfx_dri.so and > libglide3 from the 4.0.1 I had compiled previously.

I've been getting the impression that DRI/DRM are not thoroughly debugged yet. > I would like to compile the X packages myself to add tdfx support in the > meantime.
