Dude, you are my hero. I downloaded your XFree86, hooked it up and
installed the latest DRI snapshot tarball. Now it is working! :)
glxgears = 1153 FPS. Thanks for saving me the trouble of building the
XFree86 monster. Cheers!

P.S. I have my ChipId override still in there set to 0x5961, which I
think is probably necessary for me, although I have yet tried removing
it, since my card is 0x5964 which isn't listed in the cards list in the
XFree86.0.log. Off to game my brains out, hmm, Serious Sam appears to be
working, and I can get some more resolution out of it than my previous
Nvidia TNT. Some texture overlap problems with the 2D map display. Not a
huge speed increase though, probably need to upgrade my mother board now
(its a P-III 533). How do the DRI and commercial ATI drivers compare as
far as speed? Right now I can't even use the ATI drivers since they
don't detect my card. Ramble ramble..
