Make sure, that you delete the old mesa library! Do not use "mv" to make
a backup.
ldconfig changes the links to the backup file!

I have a RivaTNT and I MUST say that I'm impressed. I'm running "bzflag"
in 1152x864
with 20 frames/sec. All settings are set to maximum. 
Without hardware acceleration I get 1 Picture in 3 sec. WOW!!!

You are right, not all mesa demos are running. But the most, including
"fire". Very nice!

Hardware : Pentium II 350MHz 128MB
