No. If DRI (Direct Rendering Infrastructure) is disabled, then 3D-accelerated applications such as games may not run satisfactorily or at full speed, but this doesn’t prevent the X server from working. A disabled DRI doesn’t prevent your desktop from coming up, or programs like XTerm or Mozilla from running.
