Actually, thanks to Erik Reid, DRI is quite close to running stably on
NetBSD.  In fact, with his patches to xsrc I was, at one time, able to get
3D acceleration on my Radeon 8500.

Unfortunately, changes made to -CURRENT since then cause problems when
trying to compile the r200_dri.so XFree86 library, breaking the DRI.  In
addition, I've since started using a MP kernel and the radeon kernel
module is *not* MP safe.
