GLX available?

[Alex Asimakopoulos]

Hello, i am watching this discussion, and i would like to ask you some 
things..

i would like to install OpenGL support just for testing reasons.. in olpc
do i have to install mesa rpms found here: 
http://bfccomputing.com/downloads/olpc/mesa/  
and stated here: http://dev.laptop.org/ticket/227

i know it would be extremely slow, but it is just for test/educational 
reasons!

Mr Bernardo said in an email that disabled the GLX at buildtime in the X 
server,
that means that we could use Mesa libraries (which of them?) even if it 
is slow

i am new in linux so if anyone could help me on how can i install these 
libraries and/ or more info on this, i would appreciate this!

thanx in advance!
