(gitweb seems to not be updating properly - or my repository isn't set 
up right for a gitweb side change, i don't know)

While there are still issues that need to be resolved with that, it is 
Exa capable thanks to the excellent work of George Fufutos and has seen 
DRI and related fixes and cleanups too.

Iirc, there are things up the bugzilla to fix some things at the dri 
side too.
