DRI for Intel 855GM

[Stefano Papini]

Thank you Bryan,
actually I just installed 6.9.0 version coming with
slackware-current, after upgrading the whole system to
slackware-current (of course).

Magically, the DRI is enabled all at once.

Thanks for your support.

Stefano

P.S. I must say the install script seemed working
fine. The drivers for i810, i915 were compiled and
installed in correct places. The problem seems that X
was not able to load them.
