Although the drivers alone aren't compatible with the libGL of a usual distribution, the whole packages ARE. People have been using them fine quite some time now. This is because they include the libGL. Thanx to Alan's install.sh script, both in the drivers that I and Jens provide people can restore their system to the previous state just by typing 'install.sh restore'. The only problem is when libGL stops being included, as I said before, but that will take its time, so I don't see the point in creating confusion in people minds when there is no need. > The new drivers posted by Jose are incredibly fast, but I still see strange > colours in FlightGear even when I disable TCL - I believe I do.

I think that a README describing the general install/uninstall procedure and the state of the snapshots would be interesting indeed, and with a general note saying to never mix different drivers snapshots, i.e., always uninstall before installing a second one, as this would break the installation script (and covers the libGL case).
