I could not get ATI cards (r128 and r128 pro chips) to work. Matrox is supposed to be good, Intel sounds like trouble. DRI does not support any other cards. Nvidia will probably work, they are not using DRI architecture, and their libraries ore based on OpenGL (not Mesa). It was no use for me, since they don't provide libglut, and I need it to compile stuff. Andrew.
