Well, I wouldn't do anything so drastic as unsubscribing... :-)

When you run glxinfo, what is your DISPLAY variable set to?  DRI doesn't 
work across a network, so it should be DISPLAY=:0.0

Also for reference, my "dri" section from xorg.conf:

Section "dri"
        Group "graphics"
        Mode 0660
EndSection

Notice that I specify the Group.  My account is then a member of the the 
"graphics" group.

HTH,
