Aaaargh! I fell for the old "apt-get upgrade" instead of "apt-get
dist-upgrade" trick.  I think this is at least the 3rd time this has
happended to me...

I did a apt-get dist-upgrade this afternoon.

display: :0  screen: 0
direct rendering: Yes

I'm actually a little disappointed.  It would have been nice to find
out what the problem was to help future searchers of the archives.  My
guess is that xserver/libglide were out of sync since everything
started working right after dist-upgrade.

Thanks for the help.

The good news is that dri works AND now I'm running preemptible 2.4.20 :-)
