The DRI (not X) drivers *_dri.so used to be linked against libGL, but they no longer are due to AIGLX, where the X server dlopens them, and their references must be resolved in the X server, not libGL. It may be possible to work around this in libGL, but it might be a good idea for SDL to dlopen it with RTLD_GLOBAL nevertheless. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer | http://tungstengraphics.com Libre software enthusiast | Debian, X and DRI developer
