Adam your problem is shown in these lines from Q3:

See where it says: Indirect ? That's the problem....
Basically the rest of the info you showed seems okay, so my guess is that
somehow the DRI modules are not getting loaded or something is going wrong
there.. To find out, look in your /var/log/XFree86* file and see
which part of the process fails..
Then go back and check the files/modules, if they are even there, are they
the right versions (remember that the DRI modules that come with the kernel
are usually outdated, and might not work with a more uptodate XFfree86/
CVS DRI setup ... so you might need to recompile them from the newer DRI
tree (check sourceforge.net/projects/dri and the anonymous ftp area for
the relevant code and files)
Once you set everything up, use glxinfo to find out if you are in Direct
or Indirect rendering mode. You must be in Direct in order to get HW acceleration,
and that also means all the proper modules are loaded
Please don't forget to consult the dri.sourceforge.net site for FAQ and
how to install the DRI stuff properly...
