Looks like you're using the Mesa libs. When I got dri rocking with xf4 and
a G400, I downloaded the binary of libGL from xf4 and the binary of libGLU
(or something along those lines) from dri.sourceforge.net. I don't know if
the xf4 libGL and libGLU are packaged for debian or not...

My experience with the Matrox dri drivers is that they work alright for
3D, but hose the 2d display stuff (weird lines all over the place). So you
either run X to run 3D stuff (in 16bpp no less), or  you run it to do 2D
stuff (and get some real work done).
