Okay, so someone has reported the new release in the
DRI Mailing List [1] and it's been commented.

It doesn't look like Valentine Sinitsyn and Luc Verhaegen
have really had a look at the sources (yet). 
>From what I can tell everything except the libddmpeg.so 
is provided as source code in the package, 
contrary to what they are saying.

The only question is if what is provided can resolve the Texture issue
for the K8M800. I've read some very contrary reports in [2]
and the Via Arena forum. OTOH I'm not sure those people
are using this new code at all as it shouldn't even start X
with the VIA BIOS checksum of the K8M800
(or maybe just mine? Can someone verify?).

I'll see this evening If I can compile the X driver without
the checksum check and see what happens.
