shouldn't DRI work with a G400 [normal, MAX] right out of the box with the 
latest 2.2.1x and latest 2.4.0-testx ? At least for me in XF86COnfig with a 
G400 and 2.4.0-test12-pre8 it seems to be enabled (through looking in the 
/var/log/XF*.log).

So it seems that you just upgrade to the latest kernel, activate AGP Gart in 
the kernel and the corresponding G400 and you are set.
