Hm... I'll try recompiling xorg then.  Since I'm normally running the 
binary nvidia drivers I found my cached libGL/libGLcore and used those 
instead... maybe that's where the problem lies.  I'll play with it some 
more.

Has anyone else been able to get cvs mesa running on X11 --with-xcb 
(make mesa with 'make linux-dri' and don't use any dri drivers, 
otherwise it doesn't use the indirect glx)?

Haha, yeah they just put that up today... I haven't had time to censor 
my blog so I hope I didn't say anything too bad!  And now that you've 
given me this new info I'll have to agree with you ;)

I'll play around a bit more and see what's up.
