I'm running 9200/Linux/DRI drivers... the crease patch was great (thanks!). The DList patch gives me a frame rate of around 0.2 fps when I look at any objects or change the view... it might as well segfault. I don't use the ATI drivers on Linux because they are way too buggy (artifacts,performance,..)... not even worth testing until ATI releases new drivers again.
