Is this getting a pointer to an existing screen or creating a new one? If the later, how about glCreateGalliumScreenMESA()? > struct pipe_context *glCreateGalliumContext(void); Rename to glCreateGalliumContextMESA() to follow GL extension naming conventions. > - resolving and using these functions in runtime from the python module > > In pratice, what it does is replace the static linking with dynamic > linking.

How about some docs in mesa/docs/python_state_tracker.html? -Brian ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Enter the BlackBerry Developer Challenge This is your chance to win up to $100,000 in prizes!
