Actually, the problem isn't DRI not working, but rather the X server not working without DRI. With the DRI module loaded, the modules work fine. If it isn't loaded, then the symbols wont resolve. I misunderstood what the person who originally reported the problem was trying to say, however the bug fix is the same nonetheless, adding missing symbols to the symbol lists. The patch fixes that. -- Mike A.
