hmm well I got X running without it melting the screen by putting the UseFBDev
option into the device section, now I will have to work out if DRI is infact
working or not, no idea how to tell that from the X startup log but hey.

Anyway the module is loaded and X at least works again, though in 24 bit
colour mode, does DRI and 3d stuff work in this mode? or should I run in
15bpp? (16bpp gives weird colours)

Going to go read the README.DRI again to see how to work out if it is
working. 

Weirdly the mentions of UseFBDev in the vgaHW thread seemed to indicate it was
not needed, I never had it in my config file before now (for 4.0.1 drivers)

        See You
