Fair enough.  (reverts the wiki.)  The i810 error is not a build failure but a 
runtime failure with glxgears:

X Error of failed request:  BadValue (integer parameter out of range for 
operation)
  Major opcode of failed request:  144 (XFree86-DRI)
  Minor opcode of failed request:  5 ()
  Value in failed request:  0x1e00002
  Serial number of failed request:  30
  Current serial number in output stream:  30

This was installed from a snapshot.  Snapshots up to March 2 worked, anything 
after that did not have working direct rendering.  But since the snaps are 
generated from the head...  I've seen this error posted here before but I 
haven't seen a resolution, maybe I missed it.

And tdfx still doesn't work, although I believe I've narrowed that down to a 
specific changeset at least.
