True ! "M$ has detected that you are trying to use DRM stuff. Just because you couldn't get us with the law for doing illegal stuff don't think we can't get you for doing perfectly legal stuff". Sounds about right I feel !

But seriously, all I had to do was add a "DRI" section and a mode of 0666 (there I am back to M$ again !) to XF86Config-4 and it was all sorted. The power of the written word triumphs again !!!

Attempts to do any 3D stuff without doing this (even root) is met with :
libGL error: failed to open DRM: Operation not permitted
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering

Yikes - you can get arrested for trying to bypass the DRM. Destroy your machine now, and all evidence.
