What version of XFree and DRI are you using?

I found a message in the dri-devel archives from november 2000
(apparently the search will only give you messages from 2000, not 2001 -
sourceforge's mailing list archives are awful) saying that a bug with
multitexturing had just been fixed and "multitexture is now stable
again".

Looking at the changelog for my XFree 4.0.99.1 snapshot, it was released
in February 2001 but the most recent instance of "Resync with DRI CVS
trunk" is 300 lines down the changelog. So I suppose it's possible that
my snapshot doesn't have this November 2000 fix.

Anyone able to test out the DRI from XFREE 4.1.0 and see whether the D3
demo is playable without specifying --nomultitexture? (It's noticeable
pretty quickly if it isn't...)

Thanks again,
Stuart.
