Hi,

I've been trying to build mesa with the following combination:
osmesa
llvm
egl
gles2
(with and without --with-drivers=fbdev,wayland)

I am puzzled about the terminology but when I got my build to succeed, using a 
sha1 from 14th July 2011, I tried testing it and found that eglInitialize was 
failing. This was apparently because it couldn't find the display. I am using 
and X-less environment and want to render directly to fb0 or to some shared 
memory, hence the inclusion of osmesa.

Am I on the right track here? The combinations of autoconf options seem to 
change a lot and I can't find much in the way of documentation to see which 
combinations and options are valid and correct for the particular sha1 I'm 
using.

Can you point me in the right direction?

Best Regards,
