In short, XFree-4.1.0 includes Mesa-3.4.2. See http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/RELNOTES2.html#4 So the status of 3D is that of Mesa 3.4.2, apart from bugfixes. So it means it uses the DRI infraestructure. Take a look at: http://www.xfree86.org/4.1.0/RELNOTES5.html#25 What I do not know is if you can overwrite XFree's Mesa 3.4.2 with 3.5 and live happy....
