this was a remastered live-cd (by my own script), which went wrong by having the preceding /dev/dri in the roofs.gz. Thus, I don't know whether this affects tazlito (but probably not.)
replacing this with a directory including a file (not named cardN) permitted autocreation of /dev/dri/card0 (and apparently /dev/dri/controlD64 ) on startup, fixing the problem.
