For now Menu -> Shutdown -> Restart the X server will re-establish the High Performance hardware rendering.
Here is the more permanent fix. X needs to find a /dev/dri/card0 but card0 is in /dev instead. I tried to create the symlink /dev/dri/card0 to /dri/card0 but every time the computer was rebooted X would clean out the /dev/dri folder and delete the card0 symlink. So I created a symlink to /dev andrenamed it dri and placed it inside of /dev, so now card0 is still created in /dev but X can find it also in /dev/dri. I am sure someone will tell me if this is bad form, but if they do I hope they will suggest another way to solve the problem
