On my system it says
joachim@debian:~$ ls -l /dev/dri/
insgesamt 0
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root      10,  63 2004-04-09 12:30 card0

I guess it comes from the lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4

# This loads the DRI module
    Load        "dri"
    EndSection

# Makes DRI available to all users
Section "dri"
      Mode 0666
EndSection
