Hello I posted this last month on the dri-users list in hopes that I was doing something wrong and would find out how to fix it. I eventually did fix it by installing a matrox g450, and everything works. This pretty well rules out any configuration issues and narrows it down to : radeon 7500 + amd761 + dri = not good :-( I did a lot of googling for references to this and found a reference to a fix in the ac-kernel branch for lockups caused by this combination, so I patched my 2.4.18 kernel with the ac patches, with no luck.
What happens is when dri is enabled in XF86Config, as soon as X starts the machine goes dead: monitor, keyboard, even the NIC, all gone. A posthumous examination of /var/log/XFree86.0.log shows that everything is loaded successfully, other than the driver references it is the same as the log generated with the matrox card, X is happy, it just doesn't seem to know its dead. Am I the only one with this problem? My motherboard is an ASUS A7M266 with Athlon XP 1600+ with recent upgrade to BIOS (Janaury) This combo worked with Nvidia TNT2, and now matrox. I would like to submit a bug report but don't know how to generate any more useful information than I have given here.
