OK... then maybe that was a phantom problem.  I removed the DRI load
from my XF86Config file and now there isn't a complaint about DRI

*** tuxracer error: Couldn't initialize video: X11 driver not configured with OpenGL (Unknown error: 0)

is the real problem that I'm chasing.  Now, xdpyinfo gives:

    DEC-XTRAP
    DOUBLE-BUFFER

    XFree86-Misc
    XFree86-VidModeExtension
    XInputExtension
    XKEYBOARD
    XTEST
    XVideo
    XVideo-MotionCompensation

Which does include GLX (but not GL?).

I'm absolutely positive that this worked a couple of months ago.
