Terminology check on 'other DRI drivers'. The drivers provided by nVidia
(and I assume ATI) provide hardware acceleration, but they don't use the
Direct Rendering Infrastructure - referring to them as DRI drivers is
thus somewhat misleading.

Instead, I suggest you say something like "Binary drivers such as those
provided by nVidia should not use this option as they do not make use of
the DRI framework."

Sound reasonable?
