Found http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=16151 today and removed the 
following line which I added in order to use external monitors:
        Virtual         2048 2048

Afterwards the error message was not displayed anymore, and also 'glxinfo | 
grep rendering' returns now 'direct rendering: Yes'. To be able to expand 
(cloning works with the default maximum of 1024x1024) my desktop I tried 
several values, and while 2048x1900 did not work I found 
        Virtual         2048 1820
is working and gives me the possibility to use a [1400|1680]x1050 display 
together with my internal 1024x768 laptop screen.

I have no idea, why 2048x2048 does not work, although this value can be found 
as the maximum value direct rendering works with in most places, but the 
slightly lower resolution for the virtual screen works for me. But don't 
hesitate to ask, I'm happy to help or test.
