 On netbsd-5 /usr/X11R7/lib/X11/doc/README.DRI exists, but is much
 longer to read than this manual page; moreover, there is no mention of
 GLcore, and group is "xf86dri" instead of "wheel" (I'm not sure how
 much this matters in practice, however).
 
 I remember was how nice and easy it was for me to get xorg+DRI
 working by checking this man page alone.  Perhaps that it's best to
 both keep this little section as well as a reference to the
 README.DRI?
