https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/7660 I retire support for DRI drivers older than Mesa 8.0, which was February 2012. In particular this retires the ability for libGL to even load DRI1 drivers, which last existed in Mesa 7.11. We are not aware of any currently supported distros trying to ship both DRI1 drivers and anything newer. In fact the only distro I'm aware of that ever _tried_ was RHEL 6, which goes into extended-life support at the end of the month, and which is currently shipping Mesa 11.0.7 and is thus _way_ behind the times in terms of hardware enablement. Eric Anholt suggested that glvnd is the better way to retain DRI1 support at this point, and to that end there is also: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/mesa/mesa/-/merge_requests/7674 Which allows us to override the glvnd vendor name. xserver could then select a different name for DRI1 screens, and now you get parallel-installable Mesa packages, which could be nice for a bunch of reasons. If you still care about DRI1 support, I am very sorry, but hopefully !7674 (backported to 20.x) and a bit of polish to xserver should keep things working for you, and your feedback/testing would be greatly appreciated. - ajax _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org https://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
