For the OpenGL programs, set LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH to the directory where you have the *_dri.so mesa drivers. This is actually documented on http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/TestingAndDebugging

You should note that you don't have to as long as you pedantically install under the same prefix and make sure headers and libraries under the prefix are used in compiling and later on and tell OpenGL programs to load the right library with a variable. It's a bit more tricky but keeps your system clean)

It seems to ~work on 2.6.29 (as in, it starts, rendering corruption, occasional hangups). I'm not a dev but I do all my testing with a 64-bit kernel.Last edited by nanonyme; 06 June 2009, 08:09 AM.
