7. Mesa
Most of the DRI 3D drivers are based on Mesa (the free implementation
of the OpenGL API).
The relevant files from Mesa are already included in the XFree86/DRI
source tree.
There is no need to download or install the Mesa source files
separately.
Sometimes a newer version of Mesa will be available than the version
included in XFree86/DRI.
Upgrading Mesa within XFree86/DRI is not always straightforward.
It can be an error-prone undertaking, especially for beginners, and is
not generally recommended.
The DRI developers will upgrade Mesa when appropriate.
