I'm running the kernel and glx drivers right now. The kernel driver seems to run wuite well. It's apps that get heavy into GL that seem to cause problems. As I said in a previous message Q3a runs quite well but Unreal Tournament crashes after a variable number of minutes and hangs the mouse because it grabs it with DGA when it starts. Return to Castele Wolfenstein crashes after a variable number of minutes and takes the whole X system with it, and I haven't had a chance to see if I can kill X from remote or if it's actually the whole machine that's hung.
It's a home box, not mission critical, so I'll keep playing with it to see what I can find.
