I say it's gonna take another 3 years until we got reliable and fast OpenGL 2.1 support but even today there's many folks already learning the new 3.x so in like 3 years the "fast and reliable" 2.1 version is gonna be too little too late. Not grumpy, it's true.

Also, 3.x will be postponed until some patent issues are resolved.

Boy are the editing rules irritating in this forum!
I know many people have mentioned this before me and it's strange it hasn't been fixed.

Mesa or Gallium?

This is just a general G3D question: How much of the performance optimization are shared between drivers? Are half the FPS from how well G3D is optimized and the other half for the specific card driver?
