Direct Rendering Infrastructure (DRI) is supported in xorg-x11 
right now.  Xorg X11 includes the XFree86 4.4.0RC2 sources up to 
the XFree86 license change, and also includes changes that have 
occured in the XFree86 source tree since the license change that 
are not affected by the license (ie: code under a non-XFree86 
license).

If a card is supported by DRI in XFree86, then it is supported by 
DRI in Xorg X11 also.
