I don't *need* DRI/OpenGL support for the card, but it would be incredibly
nice to have it. Right now it is in my current setup, driving my SGI 1600SW
flat panel and is the only AGP card that will drive that monitor without
using SGI's Multilink Adapter (expensive, $450+ on eBay). It's an excellent
display, and has Xfree support, so I am not really about to part with it.
The 1600SW is hands down the best flat panel at an affordable price that I
have seen.

That being said, I thought this might be a nice challenge to a developer,
help someone make some money, get me OpenGL (not looking for a gaming card
anyway...), AND give back to the community all at once.
