I did have "glx" and "dri" but I added the DRI section to my
configuration.  Adding the section ans restarting X did not seem to work.

I also did not have the i915.o kernel module on my system.  How might I
go about getting/compiling that to see if ti may help?

Also, if I don't have GLX support, why does glxgears run?
