I have used the Virtual setting and it works (DRI is now enabled).
However, I had no Virtual setting before, and the 1440x1080 mode was the
biggest one configured in my xorg.conf :
Section "Screen"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "Videocard0"
Monitor "Monitor0"
# DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
Virtual 1440 1080
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1440x1080" "1400x1050" "1440x1024" "1440x900"
"1280x1024" "1280x960" "1280x800" "1152x864" "1152x768" "1024x768"
"800x600" "640x480"
EndSubSection
EndSection
The xorg.conf manpage states that the default for Virtual is supposed to
accomodate all the screen modes defined. For my case, it should be set
to 1440x1080, but chose those bogus values instead. Where did the
xserver get those values from?
