[ltp] 3D Hard Accel.

[Tod Harter]

Except for REALLY bleeding edge stuff though you will find that all the DRI 
drivers are already packaged with XFree86. Its really rare that there is much 
beyond what the latest XFree has that works over there, they seem to fold 
them in pretty fast. Truth is that it usually takes a year or so after 
release on windows for Linux drivers to exist for 3D :(. I'm still stuck with 
no GLX for my Radeon 8500 for instance! Still, its worth a try...
