I have commented all references to DRI in xorg.conf and indeed the
load time is now normal.

However in Xorg.0.log, I still see that the dri driver is up and running:

[   740.997] (II) "dri" will be loaded by default.
[   740.997] (II) "dri2" will be loaded by default.

or maybe not. I believe the dri/drm drivers are hard-coded in
monolithic xorg but please correct me if I am wrong.
