Since I'm not familiar with what Mesa-GGI is, I can't give a 100% answer. The
DirectX
port of LibGGI should be compatable with programs which the libGGI api. The
current version
in CVS is VERY out of date. I changed it to support linear buffers, and use
the generic calls
for line drawing, pixels, fills, etc. I am currently working on the libgii
port.
If there are specific questions about what is needed to support Mesa-GGI, let
me know.
