+<h2>1.4 What's the difference between"Stand-Alone" Mesa and the DRI drivers?</h2>
+<p>
+<em>Stand-alone Mesa</em> is the original incarnation of Mesa.
+On systems running the X Window System, it does all its rendering through
+the Xlib API.
+<ul>
+<li>The GLX API is supported, but it's really just an emulation of the
+     real thing.
+<li>The GLX wire protocol is not supported and there's no OpenGL extension
+    loaded by the X server.
+<li>There is no hardware acceleration.
+<li>The OpenGL library, libGL.so, contains everything (the programming API,
+    the GLX functions and all the rendering code).
+</ul>
+</p>
+<p>
+Alternately, Mesa acts as the core for a number of OpenGL hardware drivers
+within the DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure):
+<ul>
+<li>The libGL.so library provides the GL and GLX API functions, a GLX
+    protocol encoder, and a device driver loader.
+<li>The device driver modules (such as r200_dri.so) contain a built-in
+    copy of the core Mesa code.
+<li>The X server loads the GLX module.
+    The GLX module decodes incoming GLX protocol and dispatches the commands
+    to a rendering module.
+    For the DRI, this module is basically a software Mesa renderer.
+</ul>

+<h2>1.5 How do I upgrade my DRI installation to use a new Mesa release?</h2>
 <p>
 You don't!  A copy of the Mesa source code lives inside the XFree86/DRI source
 tree and gets compiled into the individual DRI driver modules.

-<a name="part2">Unfortunately, the GNU autoconf/automake/libtool system doesn't seem to work
-too well on non GNU/Linux systems, even after installing gmake, gcc, etc.

-FYI, the Mesa developers generally don't use the autoconf/automake system.
-We're especially annoyed with the fact that a +5000-line script (libtool)
-is needed to make shared libraries (ugh).

+Mesa no longer supports GNU autoconf/automake.  Why?
+<ul>
+<li>It seemed to seldom work on anything but Linux
+<li>The config files were hard to maintain and hard to understand
+<li>libtool caused a lot of grief

+Now, Mesa again uses a conventional Makefile system (as it did originally).
