There was talk before about DRI and it's effect on 2d ram allocation.  I 
think i heard if you compiled X with dri support, the server would be 3d 
biased.  Is that correct?  Is there any real 2d performance improvement 
available if one doesn't compile DRI?  Or, would DRI actually accelerate 2d X 
functions?  Finally, will 2d hardware SDL applications (like aviplay) suffer 
by not having the server compiled with DRI?  As of now i dont load dri and 
things are alright, but I'm always looking for ways to make things a little 
better.  Here's a x11perf readout. It's not included to save risk of being 
yelled at about a 28K attachment.

Athlon 850 with AGPGART compiled and the matrox server (g450) set for agp 
mode 4 
x11perf - X11 performance program, version 1.5
The XFree86 Project, Inc server version 40199001 on :0.0

Anyone with some extra time and a G450, it would be nice to see if my timings 
are comparable.  When moving windows around it doesn't seem like it's moving 
as smooth as this system should be capable of.
