[PATCH xserver 0/7] --disable-iglx

[Guilherme Melo]

Hi Adam,

So it seems that the direction that is being taken is to eventually drop
indirect GLX.
In my company we make heavy usage of indirect contexts for running GUI
application tests.

The reason why we use IGLX is that we run inside a CentOS/RedHat5 chroot.
We need to support this distro but don't want to have it as the host
because it is too painful to work with it.

With that setup I found two bugs with IGLX. One fix I submitted on
https://patchwork.freedesktop.org/patch/78162/ and the other I did not
tested enough but can be found at
https://github.com/gqmelo/xserver-xorg/tree/gqmelo-1.17.2-custom

So if this is really the direction that it is being taken, this feature
will be probably be much harder to use in the future. Then would you have
any other suggestion how to to run OpenGL applications inside an old chroot?

Also, is it worth that I continue submitting these patches?
