It's from linux_dri, so put there by hand, but all Linux binaries linked to
OpenGL crash, act the same, load similar libraries, and get similar crash
dump data.

Aside from all of the binaries just crashing, which looks to be from
tryiing to mix with the older X11 libraries from the port, the rendering
issues when trying to use with Gentoo binaries/libraries are still there,
and I can't find any reason for either behavior, but seeing as how Gentoo
libraries get things closer to working, any ideas why it'd keep
complaining about not being able to enable direct rendering?

I can't see anything with my computer or settings that would cause such
different results from anyone else specifically for the linux
compatibility like this.
