Peter,

Nice one, thanks. :-)  I installed the driver, which got rid of the error about
the mga_hal module.  But glxinfo still does not report dri as loaded.  In the
startx sequence, I noticed an unresolved symbols error:

(II) Module ramdac: vendor="The XFree86 Project"
        compiled for 4.1.0, module version = 0.1.0
Symbol vbeFree from module /usr/X11R6-DRI/lib/modules/drivers/mga_drv.o is
unresolved!
(==) MGA(0): Write-combining range (0xe8000000,0x2000000)

Any ideas?

Thanks & regards,
