When you're not loading dri, you shouldn't be getting this line from 
glxinfo:

Without dri it should say No.  Correct?

Hmm, I used to get a segfault at this point when running glxinfo.  
You could try installing Mesa HEAD from git.  But I doubt that is 
the problem.  What kernel version are you running, what distro?  
And show us your xorg.conf.

LIBGL_ALWAYS_INDIRECT=yes glxinfo
should work.
