Wow, thanks for the very important tip!  My jaw is on the floor now,
watching some of these things. :)

With this DRI support, I'd have to say that OpenGL (and 3D in general)
has finally "arrived" for FreeBSD.  This is really good, almost as
fast as OpenGL on MacOS X with an ATI or Geforce card, and that's
really saying something 'cause the Apple folks worked on tuning their
GL to be the best performing implementation I've ever seen, SGI O2
workstations included.
