wouldn't it be better to add a page to the mesa user topics section (ie. add a
file to docs and then add the link in docs/contents.html)? That way nobody is
dependant on whether AskUbuntu works, nobody gets thrown off, if they don't use
Ubuntu and might think the link won't work for them and lastly it would allow
for easy referencing of the relevant driver man pages with more details on the
DRI option, including information if/when this might be the default for a driver.

Wouldn't it be better to check for the driver name? Right now, you would have to
check for "amdgpu" and "intel" (maybe modesetting as well?). That way you don't
need to rely on the open drivers never implementing one of the proprietary
extensions (even though it seems unlikely they'd do that). Or am I missing
something here.
Cheers,
Kai
