What I was trying to do was minimise the amount of new code I was
introducing, as I'm not in a position to be able to debug problems in
strange places in my X server (much as I'd like to be able to).

OK, I guess I'll try that out at some stage.
Unfortunately, the best information I've gotten so far is that the Savage
drivers don't support DRI for the Savage MX series. I've also got something
from somewhere else that said that all S3 chips don't support OpenGL, but I
really can't work out how that gels with supporting 3D Direct Rendering
under Linux in general. I think that might have been a bit of
misinformation.
