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.
