-<p>
-If you downloaded/unpacked the MesaDemos-x.y.z.tar.gz archive or
-obtained Mesa from CVS, the <b>progs/</b> directory will contain a
-bunch of demonstration programs.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-Before running a demo, you'll probably have to set two environment variables
-to indicate where the libraries are located. For example:
-<p>
-<blockquote>
-<b>cd lib/</b>
-<br>
-<b>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=${PWD}</b>
-<br>
-<b>export LIBGL_DRIVERS_PATH=${PWD}</b> (if using DRI drivers)
-</blockquote>

<p>
-Next, change to the Mesa/demos/ directory:
+If you built with Gallium support, look in lib/gallium/ for Gallium-based
+versions of libGL and device drivers.
</p>
-<blockquote>
-<b>cd ../progs/demos</b>
-</blockquote>
-<p>
-Run a demo such as gears:
-</p>
-<blockquote>
-<b>./gears</b>
-</blockquote>
-
-<p>
-If this doesn't work, try the <b>Mesa/progs/xdemos/glxinfo</b> program
-and see that it prints the expected Mesa version number.
-</p>
-
-<p>
-If you're using Linux or a similar OS, verify that the demo program is
-being linked with the proper library files:

-<blockquote>
-<b>ldd gears</b>
