Maybe the content of this section "DRI" would be interesting to look at as 
well.

This seems good.

Maybe this is not very good, I don't know. For X, it is just a warning...

Seems good.

This site you indicated seems very good, that's all I can say.

Do you know Armagetron? Does it work nice in your config?
And the screen saver you've been talking about, maybe its buggy? Do other 
screen savers using GL work nice?
Good luck whatever you try now. I don't think I can help you out. I hope 
you'll find your way.

Cheers,
Sylvain.
