Re: Mesa status ?

It's not directly related but the last version of the intel driver needs
a more recent version of modular-xorg-server, which itself depends on
x11/xproto.

- From what I've read and tested, the problem with the intel driver > 1.6.7
is that they dropped XAA/EXA support in favor of UXA which needs GEM/KMS.
As long as we (NetBSD) do not have KMS yet, that one cannot be upgraded.

Any pkgsrc committer willing to update graphics/Mesa* ?

Well I can try, but as I said, I'm really not a Mesa/Xorg/drm expert, my
approach will be very naive. I wanted to start the work and was afraid of
the drawbacks regarding DragonFly, but as long as you're also involved in this, it's a lot less stressing :)
Anyone more comfortable with all that graphic world wanting to take the
lead ?

Cheers,
