ATI HD 4850 driver

[ds]

Hi,

there's something wrong with the dri package list. The original pkg-list 
(look attachment) shows the reason why the r600 driver was not correctly 
installed:

all drivers in the pkg-list have the same path:

/lib/dri/rxx_dri.so

except for the r600 driver which is preceded by these characters:

%%MESALIB76%%lib/dri/r600_dri.so

Is there a reason why the path from the r600_dri.so driver is preceded 
by the characters "%%MESALIB76%%" ?

kind regards,
Dirk
