"It turns out that the DRI portion of the driver was originally designed for AGP. As a result there are hardware dependencies with the AGP architecture (specifically, with the way bus mastering is handled). In theory, the driver can be made to support PCI and PCIe by the open source community, but this isn't a trivial task."
