Have tried with a recompiled kernel with only agp, no dri, and the dri 
module (v3.0.2) from sourceforge.

Am still getting the error message:
(EE) MGA(0): [drm] MGADRIScreenInit failed (DRI version = 4.0.0, 
expected 3.0.x).  Disabling DRI.

Even with the 3.0.2 mga.o module...

When X starts I can just catch a line which appears to be telling me 
something about /dev/dri .... it does not appear in 
/var/log/XFree86.0.log .... how can I get it to output this to a file I 
can examine rather than the display?

I'm using the mga/hal drivers from Matrox but I replaced/removed with 
the Debian ones and still the same problem.

Would appreciate any assistance.
