Once again I would like to direct ppl to the debian source archives. Get
ftp://ftp.debian.org/pub/debian/dists/unstable/main/source/libs/mesag3+ggi*

once you have this, unpack the .tar.gz, and apply the diff. Make sure to
use patch -p1 from the resulting directory, there's some target name
trickery dpkg's source utils use.

Anyway, then just execute 'make linux-386-ggi'

The latest version of ggiMesa is vastly improved thanks to Graydon. He's
made the bit depth problems related to buffering vanish, and loose ends in
the display (polygons appearing in the wrong places, silhouettes, and
interference) have all disappeared.

The main advantage that ggimesa has over mesa targetted at X is that ggimesa
refreshes many more times per second than its counterpart. No matter how
large the display is.
