DRI on Radeon 9500 Mobile

[Norberto Meijome]

Hi all,
there have been several posts about DRI (the X extension) causing lockups
(panics?) when resuming from suspend. 

I've just upgraded to 6.1-STABLE , on a Thinkpad z60m (with ATI Radeon 9500
mobile), and i decided to give dri a go to see if it's fixed. I enabled in
it xorg.conf, but it seems it's not support by X for this card? I can see an
error about that below... just not sure HOW to fix it / work around it.

(I was actually getting excited thinking that the DRI-lockup issue was
fixed! :-/ )

Thanks for any suggestions!
Beto
