Ahh... so life does exist on this list :>

I recently upgraded to Xfree86 4.0, and I noticed the GL architecture has
changed...
I had Mesa 3.0 installed in /usr/lib, and now, X has it's own installed in
/usr/X11R4/lib.
I understand the libGL.so that comes with X4 is Mesa 3.3beta? Yet, I cannot
find Mesa3.3anything, even under the Mesa CVS. I would just use the libGL
that comes with X, except that it doesn not include libGLU and the libGL
doesn't include support for ggi or glut or anything nifty like that, and it
lacks alot of needed header files, though it does include some.

My question is, what can I do to get Mesa/GL working under X4?
- I would try upgrading to Mesa3.3beta if I could find it, but I was
recently informed that it's not stock mesa that comes with X4, but an
altered version....

I was also interested if/when the GLX project will be incorperated in Mesa?
I understand they have support for the agp module in the new kernel...

Thanks for any help or comments :>
