Now hold on! You're using a _true_ R100 (Radeon 7500) which probably has the _best_ support. From my understanding, that was the "primary deliverable." Everything from there has been an adaptation.
The R200 (Radeon 8500+) cards _are_ very different than R100 (Radeon 7500+) cards from a 3D standpoint (even if the 2D driver is the same "radeon"). The R250 (Radeon 9000) and RV250 (Radeon 9000SE) are even more different.
I haven't told him to copy&paste my config. Just gave him example how it looks like. Anyhow, even with my "best supported" old Radeon, I had to add DRI option by hand. It's currently disabled for all Radeon cards by default. I told him try, see if it works, if it doesn't work you are out of luck. Undo the changes and live without 3D for time being.
