Have a look at the 3D driver troubleshooting page on the wiki:
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=3D+driver+troubleshooting

In particular, what version of libGL.so do you have? I don't understand
this well, but I think version 1.2 uses DRI and unichrome_dri.so, and
version 1.5 is indirect only.

Also, a few days ago Rico Rommel reported:

Hope one of these helps.
