I was looking at the Gatos site --- but it does have a page on debugging
DRI problems, so I thought it might be relevant.

It's no worse than a basic Gnu Autoconf source install, now.

I think that a hardware vendor system that really meshes with the

There is also the point that *somebody* found this bug. Just not the
