Thanks for that pointer, Will! It is timely as I tried to compile the current
X DRI tree this past weekend with GCC 3.2. I got the same sig 11 errors
trying to run it. After applying some of the patches (with fuzz), I am able to
bring it up on a LX164 with a spankin' new Radeon 9000 PCI card.
2D is working ok, but DRI isn't initializing at the moment. Hey, It's a start. :-)
