Copying my 11.0 conf file worked fine.  DRI works and I get aroung
40fps in Penguin Planet Racer installed from an 11.1 rpm(Extreme Tux
Racer got about 5-7).  Only other display issue I've seen is that
Neverball locks up the X system completely when started.  However, it
will shut down once you hold the power button for about 3 seconds, so
I'm not sure what the issue is.  I don't mess with games or 3D stuff
much, so as long as the 2D works, I'm good.

I can't use the Radeon driver.  The Rage128 is older.  It uses the
r128 module.    I did notice the Xorg is pulling support for the older
chips for DRi(including the r128)...........

After I switched from using Qt for Gtk, it's been fine.
