This is not the whole story however ;)

This is the Xorg driver but it doesn't list the DRI driver (from Mesa)

Try something similar:
cat /proc/`pidof Xorg`/smaps | grep _dri.so
2b39f81ed000-2b39f8420000 r-xp 00000000 fe:00 385039
 /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so
2b39f8420000-2b39f8620000 ---p 00233000 fe:00 385039
 /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so
2b39f8620000-2b39f8639000 rw-p 00233000 fe:00 385039
 /usr/lib64/dri/i915_dri.so

(note dri as opposed to drv)

I'm currently using the slightly older i915_dri.so Mesa driver. Newer
kernels (drm bits)/mesas/xorgs may use the i915tex_dri.so
