By default, you can't connect to an X server display unless you're the
user that created it. `xhost +` as the normal user and `export
DISPLAY=:0.0` should make that part run. It still shouldn't make any
difference to the result you get though.

I don't see anything out of the ordinary in your Xorg log myself - the
nvidia driver seems to be initialising properly, and the DRI module is
loaded. It just doesn't seem to be doing anything.

I have never been able to get DRI up and running on Gobo with my Intel
card either - I haven't been able to work out why, but I have a
feeling at this point that there's something odd about how it has to
be configured on Gobo (since it works fine on Gentoo or Ubuntu with
the same configuration).
