What is AA? Oh, Americas Army right?
Anyway, your problem is that it can't start up DRI in X. DRI is "Direct Rendering Interface" and is used for hardware accelerated 3D. You will need to make sure of a few things if you want to use it.
1. You have the DRI and GLX modules loaded with X. Check /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 for the lines which say "loadmodule" (or something very similar) and make sure that "dri" and "glx" are loaded.
2. You will also need to ensure you have drivers installed for your hardware.
3. Also in your /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 you will need a line specifying who can use DRI. It's something like:
Section "DRI"
Mode "0666"
I can't remember off the top of my head but have a look on Google for "0666 DRI XF86Config-4" and you'll find it straight away.

You'll need hardware acceleration to run AA.
