If you are using Nvidia hardware, you need Nvidia's proprietary drivers,
which provide similar functionality for their hardware to what DRI/DRM
provides for ATI and other hardware.  Nvidia does not use DRI/DRM in
their drivers however, so DRI will never show up as enabled when using
Nvidia hardware.

Hope this helps.
