This won't go into the kernel. This will go into the driver that gets loaded by Mesa that communicates to the module that gets loaded up into the kernel. You can find the source for these drivers in: xc/lib/GL/mesa/src/drv/ You can see what current config options exist by doing: grep -r getenv * I really do appreciate your comments and feedback, but please ask questions if you are unsure of certain aspects of the problem. -- //========================================================\\ || D.
