No it isn't. The problem is that parts of Mesa that come with Xorg-6.9.0 are
still compiled statically into /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.so.
This file is used for indirect rendering.
When you update Mesa with installed Xorg-6.9.0, you update only libGL.so, and
thus have a version mismatch for direct and indirect rendering. Check yourself with:
LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=1 glxinfo
This still shows old libGL renderer version. This is not necessarily bad, but a
warning must be put on Mesa page stating that Mesa that comes with Xorg-6.9 or
with XFree86 is fine and there is usually no reason to update it.
