If it's a generic driver, why would it need a "i965" string passed over
the DRI2 protocol to find it?

One of the things I'm planning on doing is removing use of the
protocol-provided DRI2 driver name from Mesa -- Mesa knows what drivers
it has built, and it knows how to detect those devices (in the EGL
code), so why would we pay attention to what the X Server thinks our
driver's name is?  Seems like vdpau could probably do the same.
