Thanks - for some reason I can't get the idea of three competing sw rasterizers out of my mind : "But you promised _I_ could render glxgears today". Think I need to either get out more, or else take more water with it 8-) Anyway, llvmpipe means that llvm should be recommended. I've added explanations for why we recommend these, downgraded the Warning to a Note, and added your link to mesa and Igor's to wikipedia. I'm not usre how you manage to keep up to speed on all of this! ĸen -- das eine Mal als Tragödie, dieses Mal als Farce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
