The long term plan is for a single OpenGL shared
object that runs standalone, with DirectFB or under
XFree/DRI. There is nothing technical stopping this,
it just a matter of adjusting bunches of code.
3D drivers from DRI work in the embedded version with
minor changes mostly having to do with removing GLX
code from the drivers. 2D is a different story.
Significant code needs to be adjusted for each driver.
I am working on the Rage128 driver currently. Radeon
and MGA are done. Nothing else has been started yet.
