ATI Radeon 7000 and DRI

I have a Radeon 7000 card on an Athlon system with a SiS motherboard.

I installed Fedora Core 2 on it.  X worked all through the install.

When I rebooted the system, the screen goes black and the system hangs. 
(Or at least X goes into a state I cannot get out of without a hard
reboot.)

If I comment out the dri line in /etc/X11/xorg.conf, it works fine, but
I do not get hardware acceleration.

Any ideas what is going wrong?

I am running stock Fedora Core 2.  The ATI commercial driver will not
work with the 7000 card.  (Which I found out *after* I bought it.)
