One of the todo items is to fully support glx including direct and indirect
. 
The major problem is that Xserver's glx code has the same glapi symbols 
which conflicts with standard mesa's glapi's implementations. It's easy to
rename the xserver side glapi's symbol to other names to avoid this
conflicts, 
but that will break indirect GLX in xserver side. I still don't have a
perfect 
solution to solve this problem. Do you or anyone in this list have any
suggestion
 to solve this confliction?

Will discuss these problem with you through IRC.

That must be caused by glapi symbol confliction.

Thanks.
