DRI is enabled only if the DRM module is present, which isn't in the general case, so those who actually cared to compile the DRM module probably wants DRI enabled by default, and those who didn't won't get DRI anyway. Now, there may be background information missing... If I submitted this patch, that's because I'm maintaining an updated source tarball of the mach64 DRM module at the moment [1] and I'd like to switch between server layouts with either DRI enabled or not in order when doing tests. Once the DRM code would be stabilized, having DRI enabled should be the default behavior, as with every X11 driver which support direct rendering. [1] at http://trya.alwaysdata.net/linux, the last one builds with linux 2.6.39, GL apps works but the GPU hangs when exiting X, there's still some work to do before proposing it to upstream.
