Thank you for this info, this makes the errors while loading i915
disappear, instead it initializes the DRI correctly. Xorg loads and
initializes it as well and ends with:

(II) I810(0): direct rendering: Enabled

but still, glxinfo reports DRI being disabled and glxgears frame
numbers stay as low as before. So it seems as if Xorg enables DRI, but
the rendering libraries (libGL... in this case) fail to use it -
strange, because the libGL ist the one from the dri-pkg. Am I starting
out on the correct track with this? Any more ideas?

TIA, Heiko
