[vtkusers] Xlib: extension "XFree86-DRI" missing on display ":0.0"

Hi Chris and Everyone,
The initial XF86Config file did not have Load "dri" under Section "Module"
and I was still getting that message. So I put that line in and still got
the same message after restarting X. Does that mean direct rendering is
still being tried inspite of the instructions in the XF86Config file ? And
then is it true that direct rendering is still being done regardless of
the message I am getting.
Thanks for the help in understanding.
Sambit.
