If I understand correctly you compiled DRI into the kernel for ati.
You should not do this, since the fglrx driver has it's own dri code.
In the kernel config this is found at Device Drivers>Character
Devices>Direct Rendering Manager.
It could be that this feature is compiled as a module. If it is, you
need to stop it from getting loaded at boot, or unload it after boot
with rmmod, do lsmod to get a list of loaded modules. rmmod on a dri
module might not work though, be sure to stop X before trying this,
since X will be using the module.
