2017-10-17 Thread Kai Wasserbäch
So far the Mesa-internal EGL driver "dri2" returned "DRI2" as its driver name. This causes confusion, because there is an X11 protocol extension by the same name. To make matters worse, the protocol extension also has a newer version called "DRI3", which then can lead a user to the assumption that

So far the Mesa-internal EGL driver "dri2" returned "DRI2" as its driver name. This causes confusion, because there is a kernel interface by the same name where a version 3 is available. This change attempts to make it clearer that the "dri2" name of the Mesa EGL driver has nothing to do with that
