You need that card device:
~ $ ls -ld /dev/dri drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 22 14:10 /dev/dri ~ $ ls -l /dev/dri total 0 crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 226, 0 Jan 22 14:10 card0
Sorry but I didn't see the start of the thread. Another thing you will also need is agp support (agpgart).
be sure and load the agpgart module _before_ starting X.

Loading agppart was the key, I added it with modconf before starting X, the device node was created somehow, and DRI is loading fine. Still not enough to allow this tired old K6-III/450 to play DVDs, though :-(
This should be more than enough to play DVD's with mplayer. What player are you using? The DRI is a bonus. I think what you're looking for is simply the X Video Extension (xv). I've only recently enabled DRI on one computer with a Radeon VE, but have been able to watch videos of various formats at decent frame rates for the past two years or so.
Hi!
Sorry for butting in but I'm wondering if you are using the Matrox supplied drivers for the G400 or not?
