Speaking of this, wouldn't it make sense to add a more informative error
message if a mismatch occurs?
Take the message in the mga_dri.c for example:
"[drm] MGADRIScreenInit failed "
"(DRI version = %d.%d.%d, expected 4.0.x). "
"Disabling DRI.\n",
Wouldn't it be better if this read something like this:
MGADRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch:
Version of the mga kernel module: 1.0.0
Version of the XFree86 mga module: 4.0.0
