If DRI could be disabled, this would help diagnose a bit more bug 465144 : https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=465144 from radeon(4):
Option "DRI" "boolean"
Enable DRI support. This option allows you to enable to disable
the DRI. The default is off for RN50/ES1000 and on for others.
This is clearly misconfiguration IMHO. Closing as NOTABUG.
Actually, this is from Rawhide. Manpage on RHEL5 doesn't mention any DRI option at all. Does (by chance) Option "DRI" "boolean" work for you? If yes, we should fix documentation. I tried setting DRI to false thusly (xorg.conf) :

This request was evaluated by Red Hat Product Management for inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux maintenance release. Product Management has requested further review of this request by Red Hat Engineering, for potential inclusion in a Red Hat Enterprise Linux Update release for currently deployed products. This request is not yet committed for inclusion in an Update release. MODIFIED xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.6.3-3.24.el5 built in brew. Tested, confirmed to work: "NoDRI", "DRI" "false", and nothing, on assorted hardware (with and without actual DRI support), checking each of Xorg logs, glxinfo output, and glxgears performance. An advisory has been issued which should help the problem described in this bug report. This report is therefore being closed with a resolution of ERRATA.
