Sorry, I should have added this:
Section "Device"
Identifier "NVIDIA Corporation NV18 [GeForce4 MX 4000 AGP 8x]"
Driver "nvidia"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
Option "RenderAccel" "false"
EndSection
Yeah, I think the nvidia provides it's own DRI stuff no matter what you
say there. Might be worth losing it just in case though.
