While at it (sorry for newbie questions), do I need gallium (maybe
swrast) when I want only osmesa rendering into a software buffer ?

I don't think OSMesa requires Gallium, but I've never used it.

Kenneth's correct.  We build OSMesa all the time without gallium.  In
this case OSMesa uses the swrast driver/backend/whatnot.  The 'xlib'
driver also uses this backend.

I believe there is a way to build both of these on top of softpipe --
the software/reference gallium implementation -- but my project hasn't
jumped on that boat yet.  Someday.

OSMesa doesn't work with gallium yet. I'd like to do that sometime though. llvmpipe would be much faster than swrast in many cases.
