Remind me: the 9000 has what chipset?

Is it possible that there's no

	Load  "dri"

int the config file?

Also, it may be that 6.7 didn't support the 9000 chipset; you could try
the 6.8.2 version from the "development" tree if you're brave... ;-}

I believe I had to jump to 6.8.2 for support of the Radeon 9100 (R200
chipset).

Good luck.
