Thanks for the offer. Sounds like all you can do for now is test if the
2D driver works on your hardware. But what we really need to test is the
3D driver from S3 together with the 2D driver from S3 and the 2D driver
merged from XFree86 CVS. In other words, we want to be sure that changes
to the 2D driver don't break 3D.

You could try to get 3D working with XFree 4.2 though. Generally it
should be no problem to install a different libGL. What kind of errors
do you get? Maybe libGL is installed in a different path on your system.
What does "ldd `which glxinfo`" tell you? You can make sure that the
XFree 4.2 libGL is used by pointing the environment variable
LD_LIBRARY_PATH to the right directory.
