informational. It details what your current Mesa version is and what it's
capabilities are. This is useful to more than just developers.
How so? Haiku releases will come with a specific known Mesa release. While
I agree that it would be nice to see that version in AboutSystem, the rest
is pretty much useless information, unless you are really interested in
those details. I would assume that 99% of the people in almost any room
are not. I'm certainly not, and I have even a good idea what OpenGL is :)
> It should be taken out of Preferences though and activated from a button
in AboutSystem instead.
I disagree. It should be removed from the base completely. It should be
moved into an optional package -- those that are interested in running it,
could then just do it.
The CPU info that sysinfo dumps is certainly useful, too, even for more
people; it just has no place in the GUI. As the Mesa info isn't even
machine depending but is static throughout all installations, I wouldn't
even see the point if that information was interesting to more people.
