This is only a warning. It is safe to ignore, although installing acpid will 
remove it (warning: I don't know if acpid and HAL tolerate the presence of 
each other).

DRI is needed for accelerated 3d graphics, so that you can, e.g., play Quake.

no, your chip is new and has to use the i915 kernel module. Look at 
character devices -> DRM. If i915 is not there, you have to build a new 
kernel (e.g. 2.6.19.2).
