OK, thanks.  I'll wait until your next patch drop for this.

Yeah, it was just a compile error due to the support-multiple-AGP-bridges
API change.  No doubt the devleopers will fix that up soon.  

Henrik said he's using drivers from:

 CVS (from mesa, xorg and dri cvs all-in-one) snapshots at 
 http://dri.freedesktop.org/snapshots/

 I don't really know why it isn't merged. It's under pretty heavy 
 development right now, but maybe it could get into -mm anyway?

 Felix Khling <fxkuehl@gmx.de> is the driver hacker. He should know more.

A DRI driver, I guess.  Are we planning on merging that in?
