Yep. Its Mesa 3.3/DRI 1.0. XFree86 CVS is Mesa 3.4/DRI 2.0. That has several
advantages including mostly working on Matrox cards which 1.0 never did (for
me anyway) and handling things that Mesa 3.3 tried to allocate the odd gig
of ram for and then exploded.

With the CVS stuff the 2.4 kernel should work out of the box. You need -ac for
some ALi AGP chipsets.
