Reinstalling various X packages didn't fix it, but I found the problem. I
needed xlibmesa3 instead of mesag3 Mesa libraries - the former includes
chipset specific DRI modules the latter doesn't (I'm not sure if there're
any other differences between these packages - none that are noted in
their descriptions, anyway).

Direct rendering is now working perfectly.

Many thanks for helping me get to the bottom of this :c)
