I had the same problem with a G400 and solved it by installing a 2.6.16
kernel (debian package did it for me).

With a 2.6.15 kernel I got this in my /var/log/Xorg.0.log:

(II) MGA(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler
(II) MGA(0): [DRI] installation complete
(EE) MGA(0): [drm] Failed to map DMA buffers list
(II) MGA(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) MGA(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xf8aad000 at 0xb50e4000
(WW) MGA(0): Direct rendering disabled

With 2.6.16 it works just fine:

(II) MGA(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler
(II) MGA(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) MGA(0): [drm] Mapped 128 DMA buffers
(II) MGA(0): [drm] dma control initialized, using IRQ 177
(II) MGA(0): Direct rendering enabled


I googled for that error message and it seems that more people have this
problem, also with Xorg 6.9 (I have 7.0 here), so it is probably a bug.
The kernel I used before the 2.6.15 was a 2.6.11, DRI worked back then.

I couldn't find any specific information what exactly was the problem.
Maybe someone knows what caused it, which kernel version were affected
and how it was solved?
