Might not sound insane, but the bare fact is that it does not

believe the X/DRI sources should detect this problem and disable
it by default as I have done, unless we now consider it ok for
the X server to crash for no reason other than it being
configured in a way that the drivers do not support currently.
Not as obsolete as you think. Untill a few months ago I ran a voodoo3 3000
for playing quake which is bearable @ 920*7something. Still it would make no
sense to run it @1600*1200 (no question) so you're using OR dri, OR
desktop@1600*1200. Conclusion: no problem at all.
If I run my desktop@1600x1200 on a voodoo 3 (which I am at the
moment), but load a 3D game which switches the resolution down to
something more sane like 800x600, will that game be able to use DRI
then, at that reduced resolution? Or would I have to restart the X
server at a lower resolution?
That would be a nice thing to support, if it is possible to support
it.
