Correct; from xserver's perspective this is now a done deal. It is a
matter of each driver now adding support for it and setting it on by
default.
-intel supports it now but not by default. To get it, you must specify
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" in your xorg.conf. UXA is not yet stable
enough to switch on by default but hopefully should be by Karmic.
-ati and -nouveau have further to go before we can consider it supported
there.
-nvidia sort of does its own thing and probably will never support DRI2.
-fglrx is anyone's guess, but if it does plan to support it, it'll
probably be a long while. We're better off focusing on gaining support
for it in -ati.
For other drivers, I don't have a clear idea what the plans are. Less
well maintained video drivers probably will never gain support. But
feel free to add bug tasks for drivers you think need to get DRI2 that
we should be tracking.
