Subject: [PATCH core-updates] gnu: mesa: Re-enable X11 protocol support for the DRI2 extension.

Date: Sun, 13 Jul 2025 06:06:45 +0200

Starting with Mesa 24.3, X11 protocol support for the DRI2 extension is
no longer enabled by default.  The developers are phasing it out in
favor of DRI3, and have moved it into an optional 'legacy-x11' feature.
Re-enable it to retain hardware acceleration on older systems that do
not support DRI3.

* gnu/packages/gl.el (mesa)[arguments]<#:configure-flags>: Add
'-Dlegacy-x11=dri2'.

Thanks! Applied on mesa-updates branch, currently
830bc815f2b9f91f0b335a8c47c9682c545b601b though future rebases will
change that.
