Comment 135 for bug 304871

Intel 82865G user.

Before doing the patch I would like to know what the DRI actually does and
what will be lost by patching it out. I am one of those for whom the problem
is definitely not resolved. Things like flash and video are not working
correctly or not working at all to the point where I am off looking at other
distos.

Option "XvMC" "true" does not seem to help
Option "DRI" "False" has to be false or lockup
Option "NoAccel" "True" has to be true to play videos
makes the system unpleasant to use for other things.
Option "AccelMethod" "UXA" causes lockup EXA seems OK
Option "DPMS" "false" no change noted
Option "Legacy3d" "false" no change noted

So most of the time I run with the 'NoAccel' option commented out but
activate it and restart X if I want to run a video. Some flash will not run,
for example the Dow Jones chart at
http://www.google.com/finance?q=INDEXDJX:.DJI which used to work perfectly
in 8.10 and seems to work well in a number of other distros I have tried.

At the moment 9.04 is a crippled OS with the Intel 82865G. I hope it gets
fixed and that we are not left stranded.

Many thanks for the DRI patch I will give it a try and report back.
