 Hi Alexander,
 
 I've added some suggestions below to change your xorg.conf. They might
 improve things a bit, but generally you shouldn't expect too much from
 the open source dri drivers. For playing games it's generally
 recommended to use Nvidia hardware with the Nvidia binary driver.

 This is unrelated but AllowEmptyInput sometimes causes problems with
 keyboard and mouse. You should replace it with:
 
   Option "AutoAddDevices" "off"
 
 You should also add the following option to enable accelerated indirect
 rendering. It might be enabled by default these days, but it doesn't
 hurt to add it:
 
   Option "AIGLX" "on"

 You can remove GLcore. It doesn't exist anymore.

 Add this line here:
 
   DefaultDepth    24

 Your user needs access to /dev/dri/card0. You can change the group and
 permissions of that device by adding this section to xorg.conf:
 
 Section "DRI"
         Group "somegroup"
         Mode  0660
 EndSection
 
 If you are a member of the wheel group all that's needed is:
 
 Section "DRI"
         Mode  0660
 EndSection
