Geez, what happens when I'm not looking for a minute ;)

The DRI needs twice w*h*bpp/8 (front and back buffer) plus w*h*16/8
(depth buffer). 8 MB is slightly too little for 1024x768x32, barely
enough for 800x600x32, but there's not much left for textures.

Have you bothered looking further down? There's a case for 32...
info->CurrentLayout.pixel_code is bits per pixel, so this code is
slightly broken in this regard, but nevertheless DRI works in depth 24,
32 bpp.
