Dirk,
As you said, PI is not in competition with any open source development group. We are committed to supporting the efforts of the XFree86 Project and we get funding from Red Hat, SGI, and many other sources to continue writing software that we donate to the open source community. We developed our DRI independently of S.u.S.E.'s 3D work. Prior to the release of the DRI, there was no 3D available in XFree86, so it was natural and appropriate to direct inquires regarding 3D to S.u.S.E. since you were most familiar with their work at the time.
