Re: [Dri-users] DRI with SuSE 9.0

[Chris T. <ch...@st...>]

The interesting thing is that that "switch2" script doesn't exist anymore in 
9.0.  I saw the reference to that on the intel installation instructions.  
According to ldconfig -p the only libGL.so* libraries are the libGL.so.1.2 
ones. I'll keep looking into it.
