one problem is DRI isn't enabled, check your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
it should have a section like this:

Section "Module"
    Load        "dbe"  	# Double buffer extension
    Load	"extmod"
    SubSection  "extmod"
    EndSubSection
    Load        "type1"
    Load        "freetype"
    Load       "glx"

EndSection

be sure the 'extmod' stuff is there.
