I understand why you refered me to the page. The Mesa I have came with SuSE 10.1. The Mesa I have is newer than the one on the howto. http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=3DTroubleShooting

So your suggesting I downgrade Mesa. Currious. 

It seems that sourceforge no longer has Mesa-6.4 http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=3

Which I got by following this http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building#head-1c0e9672b3aa7b3455ed90e7b820e41fde888a5e

I am doing cvs now.
