OK, so just say a bloke upgraded his kernel, verified that it worked
and then forgot to change the default image in yaboot.conf, then maybe
he'd be a little puzzled when DRI didn't work. And eventually perhaps
he'd cotton on that he was running an old kernel with no module for his
video card and no DRI support and..... very embarrassing.
Anyway, so that's all working a treat now. However, when I run the
glxgears demo the frame rate is about half what I get running the same
demo on the same machine under Yellow Dog Linux, which I have installed
on separate partition. About 400fps vs. 800fps on YDL. Same resolution
and pixel depth. Not really very important but odd.
