Description Eric Anholt 2005-11-24 20:04:47 UTC 
The xdriinfo application uses glXGetProcAddress, a newly-exposed function in GLX
1.4, which is itself not official yet.  glXGetProcAddressARB does the same thing
for us, while allowing xdriinfo to build if an nvidia libGL is in place instead
of Mesa libGL.

This happens currently on FreeBSD where the build has been modularized into
libs, apps, servers, etc., and users can upgrade the apps while their libs
(including libGL) remain untouched.  I would also expect it with modular where
distros depend on a slew of apps in a metapackage, without knowledge that this
one app is not applicable if you happen to have nv libGL.

The attached patch changes xdriinfo to use glXGetProcAddressARB.
