Unfortunately, I've had no luck with this problem on newbie or
#xfree86, so hopefully one of you has the answer -- upgrading to
the latest 4.1.0-16 Debian packages hasn't changed anything.
And if not, I'll accept pointers to documentation that will
(somewhat gently) introduce me to the Mesa and/or XF4 code bases,
and I'll try to figure it out myself . . . .
Despite what it says below, I have not attached all of those
files . . . the newbie MLM barfed the first time I sent it,
claiming the mail was too big, so I suspect xpert's MLM may
do the same. Ask if you want everything, but this time I've
attached just the output from xdpyinfo and glxinfo.

----- Forwarded message from Geoffrey Broadwell <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> -----
I'm trying to get Perl's OpenGL support working on my systems, which do
not currently have hardware acceleration support under Mesa. However,
Perl's OpenGL support requires an RGBA visual, but for some reason the
visuals available under software Mesa (the one builtin to XFree 4.1) are
all RGB-only for me.
I've hit the same problem on both a laptop and a desktop, both installed
recently with Debian Woody, and both running the 4.1.0-14 xfree packages.
The XF86Config-4 files were both built using the debconf magic in the
xfree packages. Both are running at 1024x768, 24-bit color, with 4MB RAM.
The systems both have lots of system memory available, 128MB on one, and
256MB on the other. Attached are the output of xdpyinfo and glxinfo, and
the contents of the XF86Config-4 and XFree86.0.log files.
Anyone have any clue what's going on? As far as I can interpret the tea
leaves, it looks like I'm really running with 32-bit pixels, so I don't
see a problem there . . . .
