Re: [Dri-users] Savage 1.1.18 driver from S3

[Alex D. <ag...@ya...>]

xfree86 4.2.x used mesa 3.x
xfree86 4.3.x uses mesa 4.x

The mesa structure changed quite a bit between versions 3 and 4.  Old
drivers that use mesa 3 need to be updated to mesa 4 if you want 3D
with xfree86 4.3.0 and higher.  

Also there are some security concerns that need to be sorted out in the
savage 3D driver.
