That was, of course, a lie. I have dri-6.4.1 and libdrm-2.0.1_1.

I tried agp_cvs.patch, which I think is the jhb@ patch you mentioned,
but it didn't appy cleanly (no wonder, it's dated and huge).

Without acpi_video.ko loaded, I cannot suspend (backlight turned off, 
little suspend moon lighted, but fans don't go off and machine is
locked solid).

Without acpi_video (and no jhb patch), dri seems to work a little
better, but not quite completely. From my xorg log:

(II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration unsupported on Radeon 9500/9700 and newer.
(II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration disabled
...
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] installed DRM signal handler
(II) RADEON(0): [DRI] installation complete
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] removed 1 reserved context for kernel
(II) RADEON(0): [drm] unmapping 8192 bytes of SAREA 0xc4ee2000 at 0x28954000
(II) RADEON(0): Render acceleration disabled
(WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled

cheers, Tobias
