I use a desktop system with a radeon 7000 and I'll post my experiences with
Radeon and recent XFree86-cvs.
With this 20021223 release I get an instant reboot when I startx with dri and
radeonfb enabled. On the current version, XFree86-4.2.99.4-0.20030110.1mdk, it
just locks up hard.
When I startx without dri enabled, I get a messed up screen. Swtching back to
console doesn't help, it is still messed up, even when I change the framebuffer
settings with fbset. Only rebooting gives me a normal screen.
Booting with and without radeonfb gives the same messed up screen. The only
difference is that with a dri enabled XF86Config-4 the dri part will automatically be
disabled, and it gives me the then expected messed up screen.
lspcidrake -v:
Card:ATI Radeon : ATI|Radeon QD [DISPLAY_VGA] (vendor:1002 device:5144
subv:1002 subd:0038)
lspci -v:
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R100 QD [Radeon
64 DDR] (prog-if 00 [VGA])
Subsystem: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon 7000/Radeon
[etc.]
I can provide different XFree86 logs if necessary.
I'll try to provide a messed up screenshot :-)
The card works fine with the vesa driver in X though.

description:
When choosing XFree 4.2.99.3 with 3D accelerated, on a laptop (Clevo) with
Radeon 7500 mobility (M7 LW chip), the X server freezes (without any other way
to hard reboot). This gives a black screen with 6 small images on top of it.
This occurs whatever the resolution and depth colour is.
Without 3D acceleration X loads correctly. Probably enabling DRI leads to this
problem.
Note : DRI worked correctly in Mandrake 9 final on the same laptop.
