A manual symlink "/usr/lib/dri" -> "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri"
actually saved my day ;o)
"DRI" is working again. Now, one can have a relaxed look at the
bug itself. Btw, the monolithic X.org RC2 package contains a
"Mesa" version which is more recent, tagged as version "6.4.1".
This update should be cheap to incorporate into "rawhide".
Finally, one might also consider a sort of "compat-xorg-x11"
package to accomodate the needs of older packages, which
might only exist in binary form, e.g. "Mathematica".
This approach has been adopted in comparable cases, as a look
at the "rawhide" tree confirms.
PS: "X/OpenGL Maintainence List (xgl-maint at redhat.com)"

Ouch! Could somebody have a look at this? I am not a native
speaker, but this appears to be quite exotic. This usually
writes "Maintenance", doesn't it?
