--- Comment #1 from Pekka Paalanen <ppaalanen at gmail.com> ---
Weston does not have any special way of loading Mesa at runtime. It loads what
your systems happens to be configured to load. So it's an issue in your system,
maybe you have the old Mesa still in /usr/local and your system (distributions
usually do) is configured to prefer /usr/local over /usr, so you will get the
old Mesa not just for Weston but for everything. (This is why you should not
install anything to /usr/local, but always use a custom prefix.)

The DRI2 note in the strings is irrelevant, there is no such thing that would
print "DRI3" in the EGL version string. The DRI2 here is a Mesa "EGL driver"
name. There are also X11 protocols DRI2 and DRI3, which are not Mesa "EGL
drivers", but are both supported under the same Mesa DRI2 "EGL driver". Yes,
the terminology is very confusing.
