It is the patch provided by GLX (newagpgart) now integrated in kernel 2.4 which
has been backported to 2.2 used in Cooker, It is necessary for any form of
hardware acceleration.

XMesa should be used for implementing pseudo-GLX interface with GLX (see
xmesa.h), and should not be used by programs. This is much more true as it is
not provided by XFree86-devel (as it absolutely a soft Mesa renderer without
acceleration). But OSMesa is available in the wrapper and is provided by the
libGL.so.1.2 provided by XFree86-devel, it should really be better to use it
instead (if possible ?).

I can re-add Mesa-devel (but just for this type of applications), you should
link with it and use libMesaGL.so* library instead.

xmesa.h is in Mesa-devel (previous version) but this package is obsoloted by
XFree86-devel which provides all Mesa-devel files except xmesa.h (see above).

Hope this help, Fran�ois.
NB : In your patch, you have used OSMesaCreateVisual which do not exists, so you
really have to use xmesa, if it has compiled it should have failed (or permisse
CC options ?).
