snipping some of this - as I have etch running xorg 6.8 on a Matrox
Millenium AGP - yet I have some of the same problems as you :(.

glxgears doesn't segfault, but some other gl using progs (example
stellarium) do - because of some glx visuals coming back "not
supported" and/or "slow" in glxinfo.

I haven't really tried drirc or trying to configure dri on this system,
and really don't understand how. Another reference system (booting
knoppix and/or mepis) runs stellarium fine - with dri enabled just
fine. But they use Xfree and not Xorg.

Now that I'm running etch, I'm noticing this more and more often -
almost every instance of mplayer(1) needs -vo x11 to work properly.
Prior to this, I was able to sometimes use -vo xv, or -vo sdl (little
faster) but never -vo mga, which is what I'd prefer to do. Also,
without using an alias, some programs such as kmplayer which depend on
mplayer will silently fail because mplayer(1) fails, because -vo x11 is
not attached.

grepping Xorg.log shows that XVideo gets loaded fine, but mga_hal
module does not load. Dunno if that is important.
Unfortunately, I don't know DRI well enough to figure this out. I
suspect problems WRT some modules in Xorg - at one time (rev 7 I think)
it stopped working -- waiting for it to get fixed :).
