Actually, Eric Anholt has been doing a lot of work on the BSD-2-0-0 DRI cvs branch on sourceforge. It can be difficult to get working, but it will dependably drive MGA G400's and the various tdfx cards. There's alpha support for R128's and possibly radeon cards. Check http://www.teleport.com/~anholt/devel/dri/ If you want to contribute please make some noise on the dri developement list...
