	I can confirm that my T42p running Debian Unstable + X.org 
compiled from CVS + Mesa + r300 works great here as well, so far no 
lockups at all.

	I took a slightly different (easier) path to building the code 
and drivers required, and a few hand-copying bits were necessary to 
get the right pieces in the right place, but now I'm happy to report 
the following: 

13241 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2648.200 FPS
14453 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2890.600 FPS
14463 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2892.600 FPS
14464 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2892.800 FPS

	Now to go run bzflag and see if this hard-locks my machine. 
With my T23 using the Savage 3D drivers (various vendors), it would 
lock up in about 12 seconds consistently, even with hundreds of 
different peeks and pokes were made to the XF86Config.

	I'll report back my results later... so far, very impressive!
