1 Now I'm totally confused, I can't find helpful information from Internet.
2 I know mesa is a open source implementation of OpenGL, obviously
3 mesa will afford OpenGL API. DRI is short for Direct Rendering Infrastructure,
4 I have chosen options like:
5 Device Drivers --->
6 Graphics support --->
7 <*> Direct Rendering Manager --->
8 <*> ATI Radeon
9 [*] Enable modesetting on radeon by default
10
11 Does this mean that DRI libraries are built into kernel? If not, who contains DRI?
12 Also who affords GLX libraries? Mesa or Xorg?
