This got changed in the trunk of DRI CVS prior to the merge with XFree
4.0.2 so shouldn't be necessary anymore

What I've gathered, although by no means necessarily correct is that the

they run out of video memory now. This disappeared for a while, but I
thought it was back now... I'll take the detailed head banging over to
the DRI lists for now.
