Check the permissions on /dev/dri/card0 (or similar).  You should have
one of these two blocks in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 as described here:
http://www.xfree86.org/4.3.0/DRI6.html#10

# All users get full access
Section "DRI"
	Mode "0666"
EndSection

# Only users in group "video" get full access
Section "DRI"
	Group "video"
	Mode "0660"
EndSection
