At this stage you've really only two choices, either use miniglx or
dri-egl, the only cards that I know work are radeon (r100/r200), and
I'm working on r300 for dri-egl slowly...

miniglx is a dead-end path, I support it on hardware for a client, but
I'd seriously doubt it'll ever gain any new features..

dri-egl is working for me running Xegl on radeon 9200 the last time I
tried it, I need to do some testing again on my 9200 for eglgears,
before I go back to getting the r300 going..
