That does not in any way indicate that your hardware supports 
DRI.  That indicates that the XFree86 config file contains the 
line ...

... in it, and that the X server has loaded the "dri" X server 
extension module.  This has nothing whatsoever to do with 
hardware support.  Everyone running XFree86 has that line in 
their log file even if they're using a Trident 8900, as long as 
the above config file line is present.

Unfortunately, you haven't given any information that is useful 
to determining what the problem is, nor even stated what video 
card you are using.

This is the fedora development mailing list for discussion of 
Fedora development issues however, it isn't an end user technical 
support forum for XFree86 DRI problems.

Please subscribe to xfree86-list at redhat.com where this discussion 
would be on topic, and myself and others will be more than happy
to assist you further however.
