In addition to what I've told in my previous messages, check www.mesa3d.org, there is a special very clean FAQ item on that: ------------------------------------------------------------------------ 1.4 How do I upgrade my DRI installation to use a new Mesa release? You don't! The Mesa source code lives inside the XFree86/DRI source tree and gets compiled into the individual DRI driver modules. If you try to install Mesa over an XFree86/DRI installation, you'll lose hardware rendering (because Mesa's libGL.so is different than the XFree86 libGL.so). The DRI developers will incorporate the latest release of Mesa into the DRI drivers when the time is right. ------------------------------------------------------------------------ It would be nice if you had studied the topic before starting spreading FUDs. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
