Maybe I should have quoted Christiaan more fully.  :)  He said it's 
disabled by default.  Which I understand the user can switch it on 
if he or she so likes.

There are small test applications in the Mesa demo and xdemo 
subdirs.  If you've built Mesa from source, you have them handy, 
just run 'make' in the subdir.  Otherwise it's easiest to install 
and try at least one of the mentioned games.
