On my system it says
[EMAIL PROTECTED]:~$ ls -l /dev/dri/
insgesamt 0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root root 10, 63 2004-04-09 12:30 card0
I guess it comes from the lines in /etc/X11/XF86Config-4
# This loads the DRI module
Load "dri"
EndSection
# Makes DRI available to all users
Section "dri"
Mode 0666
EndSection
