Sadly it seems that we are getting to the era of no good 3d support in 
open source drivers.  The FireGL was based on the 8500, and there is no 
doubt that development is under way for the newer chipsets, but without 
very strong documentation, that development takes alot of time, and it seems to 
become usable code around the time that the chipset it is for is 
considered out of date. And now that the vendors are doing binary only 
drivers, I am afraid there will be less focus on open source equiv. making 
the cycle worse.
