Strange, I get that exact same message when starting xawtv from
console.  However, in spite of that message, xawtv seems to work just
fine.  I have experimented with having the dri module load and also
not.  I haven't been able to detect any difference with or without dri
(whatever it is) in any of my apps or desktop yet so for now I'm leaving
it in.

I installed my nvidia drivers just from the script and not the rpm.
