Is there a "for dummies" outline on howe all the terms go together 
in the graphics world?

e.g. what is : 
dri, and how does it connect to agp.
for that matter what is agp, and how does it connect to PCI?
etc.etc.

?
some of these thigns are libraries, modules, hardware interfaces,
etc.etc.

is there a glossary?
