I was playing with Will Andrew's update to the Mesa3 port, which
compiles, and means that you can use later utah-glx code out the box. I
managed to update the glx port to a later snapshot, but haven't been
able to get around to 1. Getting a good (ie stable) tarball on a fixed
distribution site, 2. Verifying that it actually works, or 3. Polishing
up the port.
This is just more a pointer, that later (and faster) GLX code can work
with XFree86 3.3.6 and Mesa 3.1.
