Well, I can try that, but how far back should I 
"downgrade"? I'm running a Mesa off of RawHide that I
rebuilt from the source rpm, in order to rebuild my
XFree source rpm.
Or I wonder if I couldn't just insert a working set of
libs into my /usr/X11R6/lib directory and symlink to
them which is basically what I did before, installing
a set of Mandrake libs.
