Welcome to the exciting world of trying to make graphics work on Linux =) DRI is direct rendering. The Module section of your XF8Config should have:
Load "glx" Load "dri" Load "GLCore" That probably won't solve things. Google for some combination of ("debian" + "xfree86" + your video card), and also Google the error messages you get (e.g. "XFree86-DRI missing on display" ) DRI not working could also be a permissions issue; check to see if it works as root. Once your XFree86 is set up properly, the Python OpenGL bindings should work just fine. -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
