You could have stopped here.

In 2007.0 the the Radeon 9xxx series card can have 3d hw accel 
using xorg/Mesa driver/drm module.

It is what I use here.

....edit....

For dri to work dkms-ati, ati, and ati-kernel must be removed.

If you wish to use it and have problems setting it up, you may contact
me off-list and I will try to walk you thru it.
