Did you search the archives of the list for help on getting DRI to work 
with Radeon 7500 on RedHat7.2?  There have been several discussions over 
the past few months.  

The RH7.2 kernel needs to have the DRM modules built for it so that it can 
interact with DRI in XF86-4.1.X - XF86-4.2.X

These issues have been addressed by RedHat with the release of updates/enhancements:
1. XF86 updates  http://www.redhat.com/support/errata/RHEA-2002-010.html

Make sure that you download the xinitrc from "noarch" and the X stuff from 
"7.2"
