libGL.so problems with XF86-4.1.0

[Stefan Srdic <linuxbox@telusplanet.net>]

I've recently installed the XFree86-4.1.0 pacakges from the X Strike
force mirror. I've noticed a few problems with DRI on my system (Debian
Patato, kernel 2.4.5)

I would like to know if my previous installation of XFree86-4.0.3 is
intefering with the operation of the new XFree86-4.1.0, and how I can
*fix* libGL.so so it is DRI capable?

I'm thinking that the libGL needs to be recompiled. Or some of the
preview release pacakges are missing essential parts of the GL library.
I don't know for sure since I am not by any means a Debian developper,
but I can make an excellent software tester :-D

Thanks in advance,

Stef

BTW, I cut and pasted my troubleshooting steps into this e-mail.
