X with the appropriate driver.

Unfortunately, any attempt to use 3D, such as glxgears,
hangs the machine immediately.  The mouse cursor stops
and the keyboard is only useful for sysrq+B. (The
other sysrq keys do nothing.)

Is this an unsupported hw combination, or am I doing something
wrong?  I use "debian testing" and got opengl running
on another machine with similiar software but a Intel BX chipset
and a matrox G550.

OpenGL version string: 1.2 Mesa 3.4.2

You have a really, really old version. Please try one of the more recent binary snapshots. They can be found under "Downloads" on http://dri.sourceforge.net/ . You'll need the most recent radeon-*.tar.bz2 and extras/XFree86.bz2. Make sure that CONFIG_DRM_RADEON build it as a module. The binary snapshot will replace the Radeon kernel module with a newer one. If CONFIG_DRM_RADEON built it into the kernel, it won't be updated. :)
