For some reason it doesn't work for me in my desktop. Xorg (probably) 
deletes it as soon as I start X (via kdm). And although it survives kdm/X 
start in my laptop, it's deleted there as well sometimes. I have to 
investigate yet when and how it happens.

I'm not 100% sure about xserver 1.3, but 1.4 loads them automatically for 
sure.

Haven't tried anything else than glxgears yet, but at least it works on my 
laptop with i965GM chip. Good work!
