Sorry - yes - I should have been clearer.

The versions of Mesa that use GLIDE don't use Xfree for-real - they have *fake* GLX
calls.  If you look into the Mesa sources, you see things like:

XVisualInfo *glXChooseVisual( Display *dpy, int screen, int *list )
{
#ifdef REALGLX
   if (display_has_glx(dpy))
      return Real_glXChooseVisual( dpy, screen, list );
   else
#endif
      return Fake_glXChooseVisual( dpy, screen, list );
}

...so you don't have the problem.  I think we'll only see it with DRI-Mesa's.

Well, I think it's more to do with you using GLIDE than to do with
building it yourself.
