I will happily renamespace the remaining DRI1 code in libGL to avoid that kind of confusion, if it helps. I have at least one product where I'm going to have to ship both updated DRI2 and extant DRI1 drivers for the forseeable future, so I really want not to need two libGL's. Apologies for reviving the thread, I was delightfully far from a computer for the past two weeks. But what a nice thing to give me as a welcome home present! Having started my interest in Mesa on tdfx and mach64 I'm entirely pleased to see them in the dustbin. - ajax
