Hallo Benny!   
      
    BP> not this one ?   
      
   The most recent one I was looking at is 18.1.5 and requires python2 as well at   
   least one python module; Mako.  I'll have to check gentoo's configuration to   
   see if there is somewhere there that disables the need for python when   
   building mesa.   
      
    BP> python free here   
      
   See above.  I still have doubts.

   I've done that too but on a dual p3 with a matrox g200.  It worked fantastic.    
   It even had a TV capture card and I could watch TV on one console and still   
   have console switching so that I could have other things going on different   
   tty's without any interference from the others including the TV tty.  Later on   
   I added a second monitor just for graphical output and kept the main monitor   
   for the good stuff, such as compiling and other text based operations.  That   
   was the ideal setup.
