Glad to help =) I don't get that with the ut2004 demo though.

I think DRI missing is a problem, it's not that it shouldn't exist, just
that the nvidia driver wants to handle it rather than X.

I have a fairly old card, (GF4MX400), so I doubt it's something the
hardware can't do. Maybe if you did an apt-get upgrade afterwards, the
mesa libraries overwrote something?

This is my modules section from XF86Config-4:

Section "Module"
        Load    "bitmap"
        Load    "dbe"
        Load    "ddc"
        Load    "glx"
        Load    "extmod"
        Load    "freetype"
        Load    "int10"
        Load    "record"
        Load    "speedo"
        Load    "type1"
        Load    "v4l"
        Load    "vbe"
        Load    "xtt"
EndSection


Does anything show up in in /var/log/XFree86.0.log?
