Regarding the list of planned changes for 2.5 i found that
nothing is announced regarding DRI/DRM infrastructure.
So i wonder whether the current situation is enough satisfactory,
or is it just that nobody is interested in such kind of developement?
Anyhow the current situation looks a bit odd, because we
basically have support for a quite narrow diapasone of 3D
accelerators.
Does it look like the current interface could be not enough mature?
(Note: this message is intended to catalyse
a fruitful
discussion. hint, hint...)

Currently XFree86 requires a kernel DRM loaded
in order to have _any_ 3D acceleration.
So the range of 3D accelerated cards boils down to those
which have appropriate kernel code.
That reminds myself that me having a Fire GL 1000pro which
is a perfect 3d accelerator can only use inderect Mesa
rendering capabilities, which is indeed sad.
