There are two problems with this check:

1) NVIDIA does not implement DRI, so this won't be reported in the 
extensions list.

2) I don't understand your comment for not releasing memory returned by 
XListExtensions(). X provides XFreeExtensionList() and this should be 
used. Besides, why not use XQueryExtension()?

BTW, the check for VA-API drivers below DRI/GLX check is also wrong but 
fortunately, the macro used to enable the check is wrong too, so this is 
not compiled in. ;-)

Anyway, I will write a VaapiDriverInfo class instead since there are some 
things I want to check and optimize the rendering process based on the 
driver capabilities (and version).
