/ (date tbd
)<
/h1>
Mesa 7.8.3 is a bug fix release which fixes bugs found since the 7.8.2 release.
Mesa 7.8.3 implements the OpenGL 2.1 API, but the version reported by
glGetString(GL_VERSION) depends on the particular driver being used.
Some drivers don't support all the features required in OpenGL 2.1.

for DRI hardware acceleration.
