One thing to keep in mind for this is that llvmpipe currently doesn't work on PowerPC architectures. I don't know the status for other non-x86 architectures. So 'llvmpipe installed by default everywhere' isn't realistic right now, but 'llvmpipe installed by default wherever possible' is. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://www.amd.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
