Hi, |
| 2 |
|
| 3 |
media-libs/mesa-7.9 has been sitting in the X11 overlay for some time |
| 4 |
and the X11 team are planning to move it to portage soon. |
| 5 |
The new release brings a number of improvements, including much better |
| 6 |
Gallium3D support. One feature that we would like to add to Mesa in |
| 7 |
Gentoo is the ability to switch between "classic" and "gallium" drivers |
| 8 |
via an eselect module. |

|
| 10 |
Attached you will find the eselect module which we used in the X11 |
| 11 |
overlay, and the configuration file from mesa. There are still some |
| 12 |
things on the TODO list but I consider them not blockers for addition to |
| 13 |
the tree. As this is the first eselect module I have written, I would |
| 14 |
welcome your comments and pointers. |

TODO: |
| 17 |
* Add support for switching emul-linux-x86-opengl on amd64 multilib |
| 18 |
* Accept numbers as do_set() arguments |
| 19 |
* Make the code a bit more compact |
| 20 |
Untested: |
| 21 |
* Prefix support |
| 22 |

Best regards, |
