Presuming that the above questions have been directed to me ...
1. X11 version: It's currently 7.5, except for X11-XFS-utils, which is
currently running at 7.4.
Mesa version: How funny you should ask me that! I honestly haven't a clue
as to the Mesa program or what it's intended to do, or how. Aside from a
couple of drivers and libraries, it really is not installed at all. So what do
I have, then? I have essentially libgl1-mesa-dri and -glx; I have libglu1-
mesa; and I have libglw1-mesa. In addition to those, I have the two driver
sets mesa-common-dev and mesa-utilities. And that's it. Fortunately, the
question of version is very easily answered: it's 7.7-4 for all of the files
which I possess. Alas, the question about 3D is not so easily answered: I must
surmise that it is not, because my initial reaction to the question was,
"Huh????"
Similarly, the question of graphics driver seems to be tied up with this
whole mess, too. I have a radeon 3200 built into the motherboard;
unfortunately, the question of 3D graphics seems to me to be needlessly
complex and, therefore, daunting. I've therefore stuck with a 2D driver for
years now. I feel that I have the radeon driver installed for this card,
because of the fact that it is so clearly marked Radeon, especially in LSPCI
-v. Accordingly, I have drivers of version 6.12.6 installed and running at the
moment.
Similarly, I am drawing a blank concerning the question of compositing. It
would certainly help to have access to a definition of the term. Lacking one,
every time my machine points out to me that "compositing is temporarily
disabled", I have to answer "Duhhhhh-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h-h, how's that
again?" I honestly have no clue at all as to what it is or what it's supposed
to do for me. However, having started it just for the purpose of writing this
message, I can say with some authority that it seems to be running in OpenGL
mode.
I'm sorry to have to subject you to such a rambling message as this one; yet
your simple query touched off a storm of old, forgotten pains, which I would
like some help with.
So thank you very much for your query and, even more, for listening to an
old man's rants. :)
N.B.: It seems sometimes to matter, so I wish to mention that I am running
this software on an AMD64 which usually seems to be smarter than I am. No
problems in that, except that as the human component of the pair of us, I do
feel a need to keep abreast of its doings at least to the point of being able
to make informed decisions concerning them.
Thanks once again! :)
Sincerely,
Willy Gommel
