Which gfxcard is that?

[1] says for Intel gfxcards:

"If you're using an intel chipset, it's best to also pass
--disable-gallium to ./configure, since otherwise libEGL will try to
load the gallium sw rasterizer before loading the Intel DRI driver."

What does this mean in general? Do NOT build and use swrast?

That's my current autogen line for mesa:

$ grep -A5 "git log" mesa.log
+ git log --pretty=short -1
commit 52ef148923ef53dfd2192273bcdac39f233da869
Author: Chia-I Wu <olv at lunarg.com>

    targets/egl: Fix a warning with --disable-opengl build.
+ ./autogen.sh --prefix=/opt/wayland --with-driver=dri
--with-dri-driverdir=/opt/wayland/lib/dri
--with-dri-drivers=r200,r300,swrast --enable-gallium-radeon
--enable-gallium-swrast --with-state-trackers=dri,glx,egl --enable-egl
--enable-gles2

Here I am on Radeon RV250 (r200), but I am building for a different
system which has Radeon RV515 (r500).
Let's see.

--disable-gallium -> EGL tracker:     no

According to Chia-I Wu this is needed.

BTW, it is now:

$ egrep -i 'EGL drivers|EGL Gallium STs|checking for XCB_DRI2' mesa.log
checking for XCB_DRI2... yes
        EGL drivers:     egl_glx egl_dri2 egl_gallium
        EGL Gallium STs: $(GL_LIB)
