dito here, i used the drm/mesa CVS-builds for some months now, and they 
give me so much power, i can play some games like tuxracer now, (haven't 
tried with Q3 or something) which were unplayable before. perhaps we 
could now also get the cedega developers to acknowledge this driver and 
not always switch back to indirect rendering, so this could be useful 
for some games (perhaps WoW).

problem is: there is no dri-support if you have a dual-head 
configuration with xinerama, but perhaps that also changed with 6.9/7.0
