[ltp] Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"

[Jeff]

Hi Alex,

I going to check out the r300 project but I also downloaded the file
fglrx_4_3_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm from ATI's website.  Is it same to
assume that this is what you meant by ATI's driver?  There was
another I downloaded as well, fglrx_6_8_0-8.10.19-1.i386.rpm, which is
for X.org.  If this goes well with Mandrake 10.0, I'll use the latter
when Mandrake 10.2 comes out.

Thanks again!

-Jeff
