In today's world graphics/Mesa is only a placeholder - the real MesaGL library is now buindled with XFree86 (and is tightly integrated with GLX/DRI stuff so that it is no easy to unbuindle it), therefore if XFree86 4.x is installed graphics/Mesa only installs libglu, which doesn't change much from version to version. Therefore, your question is really had to be directed to XFree86 guys instead. -Maxim To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
