Sorry to be ignorant but what exactly do I have to change in order not to load "dri". There are various options in XF86Config-4 referring to DRI. I have tried commenting out the line:
Load "dri"
and that did not seem to help.
BTW I remember now that I am using the main debian XFree86 packages not those from http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk/ because when I attempted to install the latter I got into a tangle with versions of module bitmap. Is that likely to be related to my problem, it's been a couple of weeks since I last tried to fix this and I had forgotten about it. If I need the dri-trunk packages I will have another go at installing them but can anyone give me a step-by-step guide as to how?
Thanks again, and sorry for acting like such a newbie, X has never been my thing and I'm totally lost on this one.
Adrian.
