Hi! [ CCing Daniel Borca who used to work on 3dfx support in Mesa and libglide, not sure though if he is around or interested anymore. ]

Could the drivers for actual hardware (namely glide, tdfx, dri/mga and dri/mach64) be exempted from removal? I at least still have cards for those, not sure though how many users might be out there, but whenever libglide has broken in Debian, I tend to receive bug reports, so I'd assume there's still some. And it always saddens me a bit when hardware support gets dropped in projects. Out of curiousity, are those burdersome to deal with, or hindering further imrpovements or development in other areas? Anything major that needs to be done to them? I can perfectly understand the desire to remove legacy stuff that might block or take much of your time, keeping them would still be appreciated. I also fear I have my hands full already with lots of stuff, so cannot offer much of help, at least right now. Though, I should finally cleanup and commit upstream some of the libglide patches I have in Debian. thanks, guillem ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Download Intel® Parallel Studio Eval Try the new software tools for yourself.
