What machine is this for in particular?  In discussion with Nitin
about MGA a few weeks back the conclusion was that the vesa driver
should be sufficient.  As far as I'm aware the reference platforms
don't ship with MGA hardware so it's up to the owner of the platform
to install whatever they have to hand (mga, nvidia, ATI, etc), or am I
wrong about that?

Assuming success in an distro where opengl isn't enabled will result
in the driver believing that DRI is enabled when it isn't, so expect
to see build failures from this.
