Description Ross Burton 2013-01-18 17:46:36 UTC
GLX support requires Mesa, so instead of enabling it everywhere and forcing people who can't use mesa to work around it, lets not enable it by default and machines that use mesa-dri can enable it.
Comment 1 Ross Burton 2013-01-18 17:50:54 UTC
Something like PACKAGECONFIG_append_pn-xserver-xorg = "glx" should do the job.
Comment 2 Ross Burton 2013-02-14 16:35:00 UTC
This would make the X server machine specific though...
Comment 3 Ross Burton 2016-01-21 12:57:09 UTC
Actually this is likely too invasive to be worth it.
