  'mesa-progs-6.5.2' (latest available).
  'xf86-video-i810-2.1.0' ( 2.1.1 is in testing (~)).

  Section "Device"
      ### Available Driver options are:-
      ### Values: <i>: integer, <f>: float, <bool>: "True"/"False",
      ### <string>: "String", <freq>: "<f> Hz/kHz/MHz"
      ### [arg]: arg optional
      Option     "Accel" "On"           # [<bool>]
      #Option     "SWcursor"           	# [<bool>]
      #Option     "ColorKey"           	# <i>
      #Option     "CacheLines"         	# <i>
      #Option     "Dac6Bit"            	# [<bool>]
      #Option      "DRI" "true"         # [<bool>]
      #Option     "NoDDC"              	# [<bool>]
      #Option     "ShowCache"          	# [<bool>]
      #Option     "XvMCSurfaces"       	# <i>
      #Option     "PageFlip"           	# [<bool>]
 	Identifier  "Card0"
 	Driver      "intel"
 	VendorName  "Intel Corporation"
 	BoardName   "Integrated Graphics Controller"
 	BusID       "PCI:0:2:0"
  EndSection

This is the result of 'X -config' (with a small format change).
I tried permutations of Options suggested on Forum posts without success
(I haven't asked on the Forum myself): eg adding 'Option "DRI" "true"',
which seems merely to duplicate "Accel" above.

I am a bit confused by the requirement for  2  drivers  i810  i915 .
The same dir has  i810_dri.so  i915tex_dri.so  i965_dri.so  (all from Mesa).
Is it using the wrong driver ?  Is there a way to test the others ?

Thanks again for your response.
