I suppose DRI support is supposed to be auto-detected but maybe is not working 
as
expected in your environments.

Does this PC with AGP slot and G400 have 4G or more physical RAM? If it does 
not,
as I have no AGP slot boards that support more than 2G and suspect maybe there
exists no such things, for completeness sake I would undo the DRI false option 
and
try the non-PAE kernel. See here why I make this suggestion:

Anyway, great to know these great old GPUs remain useful for others than 
myself. :-)
