I have a native 'glx.so' running on my NetBSD/i386 ELF system right now. 
The various Mesa clients run great, and q3test also works.  I'm using
the glx.so with the "normal" XF86_SVGA built from /usr/xsrc.  Seems quite
nifty.  Performs nice compared to software only. :)

The 'libMesaGL.so*' files need to be replaced by the 'libGL.so*' files though.
Otherwise the clients will still use the software renderer.  It is simple
enough to just link against libGL* when you build the app though.

I have built it on my NetBSD 1.4 system also. (well a 1.4_BETA kernel)
There has been minimal testing, on a NetBSD 1.4 system with a Riva128.
I didn't do anything other than run 'glinfo' to verify the renderer was
the nvidia, and 'morph3d' to see highspeed GL!! :)
[ look on http://www.digitron.com/netbsd/glx.tar.gz.bin ]
If someone could test this for me, I would appreciate it.

Anyway, it is definitely *nice* to have hardware GL support under NetBSD! 

Well, off to sleep!
