Jerome, Peter means users logged in simultaneously (fast user
switching). This is usually implemented as each user running his own X
server. The problem is that only the first X server launched can use
DRI. The second (running at the same time) will have DRI disabled.

fast user switching will probably use one master X server, and having
the different users applications draw on that single server (maybe
through nested servers).

(Garry, yes two applications can run at the same time and both use DRI.)
