    Hello Lazlow:
    The package is glx-utils

    The source rpm is mesa-7.0.2-2.fc8.src.rpm

    for your future reference, this is how you can answer that question yourself:
    Code:
    foxtrot(~)$ which glxgears
    /usr/bin/glxgears
    foxtrot(~)$ rpm -qf /usr/bin/glxgears
    glx-utils-7.0.2-2.fc8
    or, more succinctly:
    Code:
    foxtrot(~)$ rpm -qf $( which glxgears )
    glx-utils-7.0.2-2.fc8

    Ok, I am having an idiot day (I did not read your post complete post until now). Why is the glx-utils (rpm) source in mesa.srpm? And how did you go from point A to B. I get the glxgears to glx-utils part.

    Thanks
    Lazlow

    Edit: Yep, it is being one of those days( post complete post).

    Hello:
    Why is it included in the mesa src ?
    Don't know, I can only guess, that it's the way the packager / developer wanted it.
    It's not uncommon to see this format, if you will.

    I cheated and used yumex to find the src rpm that the package glx-utils emanated from.

    I did not know that yumex had that info. That is probably the first advantage (excluding setting up repos) of yumex over smart that I have seen.

    Thanks

    Hello Lazlow:
    You can also use the command
    rpm -q --info glx-utils

    which will show you the same info from the command line.

    Yah, I try to avoid rpm as much as possible. For some reason I can never get all the right switches in the right places, at least not in the first three trys (on a good day). I can use other CLI tools pretty well just not rpm.

    On days like today; me playing with rpm would be a little like keeping a hair triggered magnum automatic in my shorts.

    Thanks Again
