Hello-

I apologize for the delay in responding.  Are you running
the IDV from the console, or are you logging in from 
another computer?

I googled around on the error message and others have  
run into this problem with applications other than the IDV.
In your X configuration file, is the direct rendering interface
(DRI) being loaded?   See the IDV  FAQ on this issue at:

http://www.unidata.ucar.edu/software/idv/docs/userguide/Faq.html#dri

if so, comment out the loading, restart your X server and try
again.
