2 things i just found out... 1) make sure (obviously) that DRI is compiled in your kernel...
2) and this was a REAL silly one on my part...DUH it was so easy...make sure that you're X server is using the newer version (XF86Config-4) config file! or else it will continue to use the old one (without the 4) and DRI won't be enabled by default. this worked for me and my Voodoo...mileage may vary... good luck -jeff
