Describe the update
The manpage states Default: All levels of DRI are enabled for configurations where it is supported.
However, this is false. The 915GM supports DRI3, but it is disabled by default. With a recent Mesa build without DRI2, this results in using llvmpipe for 3D acceleration. Setting Option "DRI" "3" works as reported both by the X server log and by glxinfo, and OpenGL programs seem to work fine.
Presumably there was a reason to have it disabled by default on the 915GM at one point. Should we change the default, or update the manpage?
