I didn't know, that it's already out. So downloaded it and tried
enabling dri. Then when I start up the server hangs and at the top of
my screen there's a bunch of messed-up colours. Then I must reset the
computer (no ctrl+backspace, no console-switching, telnet not
available).

With only glx enabled it works, but in fact I also need dri. The same
problem I got before, using the prepared-packaged dri. Alas, I've got
no XFree log file telling more. I can only say, what I did. I pulled
the Xfree binaries installed and installed them ss described. When
asked for installing new links for GL-Librarys I said "yes" which, I
suppose, should be right.

Also to mention, when I try configuring the server with xf86cfg (first
I used the old cfg-file) I get some errors about unresolved symbols
and it exits (error 11). Would it eventually be helpful to post this
log-file?

Also could erasing all the XFree-Stuff and starting again from scratch
perhaps get it right? I installed many versions of xfree and dri the
last few weeks so perhaps something is messed up?

Any help appreciated,
Benni
