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.
