No /dev/dri directory exists in my system. Is that bad? (See below the
third part of this message)

I have prevously readed all the README you refer to and followed the
instructions in the TROBLESHOOTING section before sending my message to the
list. The permissions and owner of /dev/nvidia files are ok.

I have run my GL applications from gdb so to catch the problem, and the
message that appears is the following:
Program received signal SIGSEGV, Segmentation fault.
0x403c8ddd in FastMemClear1 () from /usr/lib/libGLcore.so.1
I have not yet configured the dri and agp in the linux kernel, I have
realized that may be I need a recent version of linux kernel. But this
cannot be the problem, because anyway when I run my GL apps under root,
everything is OK.
What relation is there between the dri support in the kernel and in the
XFree86.4?
Do I need the former so the last work? The XF86 log file doesnt show errors
on the initialization of dri module.
Much thanks.
