This happens to work for me, with r300 Radeon card, provided I have
Option "AGPMode" "8"
line in a "Device" section of xorg.conf. Otherwise it fails (or at
least it did the last time I tried with this line commented out).
You also need mesa-libGL and mesa-libGLU packages installed.
Results of a failure are more severe in my case than just DRI
disabled. Namely a blank screen and a computer which has to be
rebooted by a remote access. Other values that 8 are also bad.
