    Well, I have no problems with DRI working in 8.0 but in 8.1 I couldn't
    get it to work. I believe it was a bios issue with my A7V motherboard. I
    was at rev. 1009 in the bios and the latest was 1011. I was told by a
    few others that 8.1 works perfectly with 1011 but may have issues with
    anything older then 1010. I fell back to 8.0 for the time being. I did
    this a week ago because I simply do not have time to putz with things
    lately to get them to work. Here's a snippet of my XF86Config file ..the
    same file I used in 8.0 then in 8.1 then again in the new install of
    8.0. With this file DRI works perfectly.

    #####
    Section "Device"
    BoardName "RV200 QW"
    BusID "1:0:0"
    Driver "radeon"
    Identifier "Device[0]"
    Screen 0
    VendorName "ATI"
    EndSection
    #####

    I had no AGP option put in by sax2 or by myself and it preforms very
    well. I believe it was a bios problem interacting with the kernel and
    other such things.

    Thanks for the heads up though.
