[bear in mind that my xf86config references the x driver for the radeon card, but /etc/modules loads the dri dirver.] | once these are done rmmod radeon, then insmod radeon [to insert the new radeon driver]. then startx and run glxinfo to be sure you are running the DRI drivers. glxinfo should read "direct rendering = yes".
