Thanks for trying yapso!
OSMesa is used for saving the figure as png files. Without OSMesa, you can still create png files, 
but no window should overlap the current yapso figure since the pixels are read directly from the 
screen. Also, you cannot change the figure size for the png export (set(gcf,'PaperSize',...)).

Is OSMesa not available on your platform? Which platform/distribution are you using? On Ubuntu 6.06, 
OSMesa seems to conflict with the hardware accelerated OpenGL libraries. Is that the reason why you 
don't want to use OSMesa?

Cheers,
