Then it looks like we will be leaving them out cold as far as OpenGL 2.1
support then. None of the existing FOSS drivers support OpenGL 2.1, and as
far as I know, everybody is focused on bringing Gallium3D in to offer that
support, but it seems it won't be ready before April distro release. Really,
that leaves two options, either use Git Mesa code with Gallium3D and hope
for the best, or hold back Xserver to version 1.5, which I doubt will
happen. However, something DOES need to be done about this.
