I'm not sure which part of my statement led came out as the opposite. If you can point me out as such that'll be appreciated.

So I was pointing out that some (be that by mistake or not) still have/use it. At the end of the day, do as you please. The argument of "distro X defaults to Y, so mesa should do the same", just seems strange to me. Similar to Marek, I do wonder about the hostility towards GLES1. Sure it is a bit old, and the API is not the most flexible/useful but there are dozens (hundreds?) of projects that fit the criteria :) -Emil _______________________________________________ mesa-dev mailing list mesa-dev@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/mesa-dev
