It's already on DRI CVS. > Frankly, I see very little point of having Mesa3 in current version. The Mesa version included in XFree86 4.2.0 is around 3.3.x I think, but surely below 3.5.x which was the development version before 4.0. If you read the first item on 3.5 release notes you'd see "internals of Mesa divided into modular pieces" - changes which allow take use of the TCL (Transform, Clipping & Lighting) abilities existing in recent cards. That means that _all_ DRI drivers had to be substancially redesigned to accomodate that internal changes in Mesa - a non trivial work. In fact, this hasn't been done to all cards so far, and some may not see the light of a next XFree86 release due to lack of maintainers to do the work.
