1. Make sure you have available kernel drivers either built in or built as modules with KMS support. Nvidia cards need Nouveau driver which is available in "Staging" area of Linux before version 3.4. 2. Make sure you have built corresponding DRI/Gallium drivers from MesaLib package. Default instructions do not include r300 and r600 gallium drivers (for radeon chipsets) which need LLVM to build. 3. Make sure you have possibly latest drivers for corresponding chipsets. Nouveau driver is only available in Git (I've made a snapshot which can be built and work with current BLFS SVN [1]). If using Sandybridge processors, consider using --enable-sna option on Xorg Intel driver.
