Maybe this should be changed, so that other drivers can enable it,
without referencing Mesa related options, no?

Also, the code in the xserver package does:

ifeq ($(BR2_PACKAGE_MESA3D_DRI_DRIVER),y)
XSERVER_XORG_SERVER_CONF_OPTS += --enable-dri --enable-glx
XSERVER_XORG_SERVER_DEPENDENCIES += mesa3d xproto_xf86driproto
else
XSERVER_XORG_SERVER_CONF_OPTS += --disable-dri --disable-glx
endif

So it really builds mesa as well. Is this needed ?

Can you clarify this, maybe talking with Bernd?

Thanks,

Thomas
