Assuming you are talking about reinstalling Ubuntu, I wouldn't recommend 
it to solve this problem. If it can be solved, it will be solved in a 
much less disruptive way, but sometimes DRI cannot be enabled properly.

On my system, DRI causes hard lockups within ten minutes of use; it's 
probably a driver bug, and until they fix it, I need to stay away from DRI.
