I wasn't quite clear on that - the s3virge only lives on its own branch (s3virge-0-0-1-branch) so there is nothing to disable. IIRC its state is that it's missing some GL functionality, and I don't think the security issue was even touted. See http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/bleeding-edge/README.s3virge for more info. Actually, after more cerfull inspection, it appears that the build problem with the s3virge is that the branch is getting too far behind to correctly build with the X 4.3.0 sources... Have to look deeper though. It would be nice to keep the old drivers available. We should start doing 3D SDKs for each major XFree86 version, so that as the infrastucture (DRM, Mesa) gets _source-wise_ incompatible, we can still build the old drivers which ware _binary-wise_ compatible with recent X versions. I know XFree86 has a driver SDK already. Does anybody have an idea whether we could extend it for 3D?
