I'm hammering my head against the wall at this moment!! You're completely
right, all those files should be let alone! :P
I'll fix this ASAP. (Now I'm at home so I'll be able to test it myself).

Luckily, the libs that came with your X 4.x should be just fine - less
stuff for download.

From what Frank said in the beggining there will be no AGP texturing,
only DMA, i.e., you'll experience a general speedup in preformance (number
of triangles per second), but you'll still be limited to the memory your
card have, so applications that make heavy use of textures (i.e. games)
will have most of the same problems if high-res textures or high
screen-resolutions are used.
Only once AGP texturing is implemented, the card will be able to use all
system memory in AGP aperture for textures, depth&back buffers, etc.
