Thanks for the reminder. 

To use the GLX code rather than libGL seems a little difficult for glamor.
There are two problems need to be solved here:
1. glamor is using egl, and egl load libglapi.so directly and use the
libgl's dispatch
table rather than glx's. As in general libgl's dispatch table and the glx's
dispatch table
are not the same. So when we get gl functions' entry point by using
eglGetProcAddress,
we may get incorrect function pointer. For example, take current git master
version of
mesa and X. glGenBuffers's index at libgl's 513, but GLX's 513 is
glDeleteBuffers

2. Glamor can be configured using GLESv2, GLX's code only has GL API and
doesn't
support GLESv2.

As the major target of glamor is still GL not GLESv2, we can ignore the
second problem
currently. But I don't have a good idea of how to solve the problem 1.

Any suggestions?
Thanks.
