help getting direct rendering with Intel GMA945

I'm trying to setup a clean install of arch on my lappy, and I can't get direct rendering to work. I've tried a lot of different things, but glxinfo keeps giving me "direct rendering: No." Here is my xorg.conf:

Section "ServerLayout"
    Identifier     "X.org Configured"

Hopefully I'm overlooking something and being dumb.
