What does your xorg.conf file say in Section "Module"

Post it here for feedback.  dri is a module you can load into your X server on 
startup.

Here is mine from my laptop for reference.
Section "Module"
        Load  "dbe"
        Load  "extmod"
        Load  "fbdevhw"
        Load  "glx"
        Load  "record"
        Load  "freetype"
        Load  "type1"
        Load  "synaptics"
        Load  "dri"
EndSection
