For me, X starts, dri starts, sort of, and it's at least somewhat usable. dri has trouble - and since about minor version 1-7 of xorg releases have not been able to solve the problem I'm having when various dri-using apps segfault because for whatever reason some graphics modes are considered slow[1]. I've also not been able to get certain specific things to work (most notably mplayer using -vo [x]mga, although -vo x11 works) at all, since switching from Mandriva a long time ago. I've been thinking about going to Matrox drivers from the web site, but the last time I tried doing that was maybe a few years ago (got the card in March 2001) and haven't tried doing that since. I went ahead and grabbed the latest source tarball a few minutes ago from Matrox, unacked it, and tried to compile[2] it. If you or other list members can help me to transition to something that will help, I thank you. I hate having to boot up mepis every time I want to run a 3d thing like stellarium :(.
