[Dri-devel] What is HALlib and do I need it?

[Nicholas L. <ni...@by...>]

I've looked at all the postings about HAL, and
read the readme on Matrox site, but for the life
of me can't seem to see how it fits into the big
picture of DRI hw-acceleration.

What features does it add/replace that I don't
already get w/just the DRI?

And sorry if this is explained somewhere else
already, I just couldn't find it.
