Now, I don't know enough about X to speak authoritatively, but just to
try to help, I get:

I don't think that a grep for "DRI" does much - note the "direct rendering" I get.
I have seen different displays when starting X with 2 different userids
on the same machine - something like "startx -- :1" (I can't remember
the exact incantation).
And I'm running OpenSUSE 10.2 if that makes a difference.

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom.
It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves.
