The error is caused by the changed version of grDRIOpen in the SLIAA
Glide3 branch (the SLIAA version takes different parameters).
http://www.directspeed.net/~relnev/tdfx/tdfx_hack.patch is a patch that
changes the grDRIOpen call in the mesa-3-5-branch to match the SLIAA
Glide3 version.  As expected, after making these changes and
reenabling the SLI-related code in the X server, SLI mode does not work
(instead, only white lines are shown and you have to kill the X server).
