Well, do you need it?

If you're not using an app that is 3D (none of the above is, just ignore
it). Otherwiser I have the following in my XF86Config to make 3D work
with the GLX extension:

Section "Module"
Load "type1"
Load "speedo"
Load "extmod"
Load "freetype"
Load "glx"
Load "dri"
EndSection

Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0666
EndSection

That should do it for all the ones out there, not using NVidia chips.
