Thanks for the help, From what I can remember I noticed this around
2.6.26-rc1. It could be an issue with DRI, but then again it could be
something else. With running some more tests I'm noticing a conflict
with libdri.so, not recognizing the module or the module not
recognizing libdri.so. As for the latest git I'll have to pull, and
see if it makes a difference. If not then I'll have to sit and keep
working this problem until I can figure what is happening "even if my
eye ball's fall out of my sockets", and I walk around feeling like
I've had brain surgery".
