I'm not sure if I want to start off immediately with OpenGL 2.x but probably
something simpler like ES 1.x. Does this really mean I should stay away from
Gallium? I am also concerned Gallium might be too hot for my purposes still
(couldn't get a picture of how stable or fast it is compared with MESA/DRI).

Should I decide to go with MESA/DRI, which driver(s) would you recommend as
a reference?
