No DRI with an i865G graphics adaptor and the i915 kernel module

I would like to get DRI support on my i865G. To that effect, I download the i915 driver from freedesktop, and after installing it everything seems to be OK, according to my Xorg.log traces, but still no DRI. Here are the relevant portions of my Xorg.log file:

The (EE) line on i810 is the only thing fishy I can see but, at the end, the traces tell us explicitly that direct rendering is enabled. However, when invoking glxinfo the output tells me that direct rendering is not enabled - and the performance of 3S-intensive apps sucks.

The relevant portions of the output from dmesg read

agpgart: Detected an Intel 865 Chipset.
agpgart: Maximum main memory to use for agp memory: 816M
agpgart: Detected 32636K stolen memory.
agpgart: AGP aperture is 128M @ 0xf0000000

and

Did you uncomment dri in xorg.conf? Also disable glx.
