Well, I've now narrowed it down to permissions. I didn't install the
drivers off of nvidias site as they are the same version. Perusing the
nvidia linux forum I came across a post that made me want to do
glxgears again. I was root on that console due to just having emerged
something, and DRI works fine. I'm going to poke some stuff with chmod
and restart, but if any know what might be the difference that allows
root to do it I'd love to hear it.

I restarted X and I can see DRI fine on a non privileged user. The
change was adding some of the options from device section of the
xorg.conf posted by Hemmann, Volker Armin
Thanks everyone,
