There isn't any I know, and I really doubt that you can find one. The complexity of the recent cards make hardware vendors to be very concerned in protecting their intellectual property. For some cards, as you may know, there isn't even open source drivers. But if you really want to play with making DRI drivers with a card without concerning about getting non-disclosable information then there is one card where you can do that: the 3DFX Vodoo cards. The 3DFX DRI driver still uses the deprecated GLIDE (which mask away some of the later models' functionality) and it's needing a rewrite to eliminate this dependency. The 3DFX specs are available at http://www.medex.hu/~danthe/tdfx/ . I'm sure that even if you don't have one it should be easy to buy an used one cheap. I hope you find this useful and interesting!
