Couple 'o things :\ The Module section needs 'Load "dri"' added to it, and the
DRI section needs something like 'Mode 0666' added to it(might want to read up
in /usr/share/doc/xserver-xfree86/README.DRI.gz if your paranoid about your
users). Your kernel also needs to have the right motherboard chipset and video
card support loaded. Powerdesk in its current incarnation is kind of
crap-in-general anyway, so you might be better served using the usual
configuration utils+matrox's documentation for the driver.
