     Well, I guess that answers my question before I could post it because
the above probably explains why I get

[  1249.637] (EE) AIGLX error: dlopen of /usr/local/lib/dri/r600_dri.so failed (/usr/local/lib/dri/r600_dri.so: Undefined symbol "_glapi_Dispatch")

     Ditto for GALLIUM?  This machine has two Radeon HD 3870x2 cards in it
hooked together by a Crossfire cable.  Even though they are old hardware,
I'm sure they would do better than software rendering.  Yeah, I know
there's no Crossfire support, so I wasn't expecting that, but starting
several years ago, this list was abuzz with all the new versions with
GALLIUM support.  Now that I have a machine that needs it, I find out it
has become unavailable again.  Also, at this rate, I'm beginning to think
that I may never get to play with OpenCL.  Sigh. :-(
