It wasn't so I fixed the Xorg.conf file. Now all kind of weird stuff is 
happening. The kde's screen saver example in the small window, is offset 
to the left and bottom of the screen for all of the openGL screen 
savers. They run in full screen test mode, but not for long.

Flightgears window is split in two. The left part is on the left of the 
screen, the right part is on the right side, leaving a gap in the middle 
of the screen. When I switch from 1280x1024 to 1024x768 both side are 
connected, but the top and bottom of the window is missing.

mplayer never shows any screen, and ends with an unexpected error

Without XvMC mplayer runs fine, as long as I don't minimize and and 
unminimize the screeen. The last action kill's Xorg. Now this feature 
was present before I activated DRI in Xorg, so this looks like the 
openchrome drivers fault.

I guess I have to subscribe to dri-devel at list.sourceforge.net for the 
weird stuff.

To make things complete, when I recompile the openchrome driver this 
pops up:
