Up near the top, there is this section:

Section "Module"
  Load         "type1"
  Load         "v4l"
  Load         "dri"
  Load         "extmod"
  Load         "freetype"
  Load         "dbe"
  Load         "glx"
EndSection

comment out the line:

  Load         "dri"

so it looks like:

Section "Module"
  Load         "type1"
  Load         "v4l"
#  Load         "dri"
  Load         "extmod"
  Load         "freetype"
  Load         "dbe"
  Load         "glx"
EndSection

You can uncomment the DRI section at the bottom that you commented
out previously.

Then, restart your X server.  

It will be interesting to see if you notice a performance hit
after that (and if the message goes away).
