Manually enable DRI by editing the X config file and making sure the line: Load "dri" ... is present in the modules section. Our config tool assumes that 3D acceleration is only available on Radeon and matrox I think. Someone (possibly myself) reported this stupid behaviour, but it seems to have not gotten fixed. As such the enable-3D feature in the config tool is useless, unless you have one of the few cards the checkbox is enabled for. Please file a bug report about this and CC me. -- Mike A.
