None that you create - the modules and kernel take care of this for you.
For the record, I have:

$ ls -lR /dev/dri
crw-rw-rw-    1 root     root     226,   0 Dec 23 14:17 card0

Naturally, if it breaks, you get to keep both pieces. It's always
Just Worked (c) here. With the i810, the manual page says you only get
harware-accelerated 3D via DRI at 16bpp color. I'm unclear, however,
if you get DRI at other depths (well, 24bpp) if you don't care about
hardware-accelerated 3D -- I've got Matrox and NVIDIA cards here, so
I have no problems in that regard.
