In theory yes. in some situations its sub-optimal like low VRAM cards,
since DRI1 was based a

DRI2 impose nothing on hw capabilities. So any hw can do DRI2 even hw

Now I'm curious. Is it the case that every DRI1 driver *could be* a DRI2
driver with enough effort? Not talking about emulating hardware features.

Really? Even if no one updates r128 to stay compatible with new libGLs
and no one updating libGL gives a s

There is one thing you didn't cover in your questions/myths: old hardware is
often very limited by today standards, and removing it allows the code to
become simpler (less fallbacks, more shared code, uniform code paths), as we
can raise the assumptions of what a driver can and cannot do. And t
I am a first time mailing list joiner, long time user of exclusively
