This may or may not be relavent... but I have a triple-head setup using
three Radeon cards; 1 agp based 8500LE and 2 pci based 7000/VE's.

I've never had DRI / X working... The problem(s) you're having sounds
like the problems I was having... Comment out 'Load "dri"' in xorg.conf
and try it again.

Nikolas, Alistair -

There is still active work going on in the DRI/DRM section of X.org for
ATI/Radeon. There were some partial fixes posted to FreeDesktop.org's
bugzilla, but they require X 6.9.0-CURRENT. Nikolas' suggestion
(commenting Load "DRI") does work, but I was able to get the DRI to
function (with 3D OpenGL) using CURRENT X (as of two months ago; it may
be even better now.)

I can't seem to find any devel snapshots on the xorg website?... and
I'm already running 6.9.0 (It's still broken, but fails more
gracefully.):

xorg-clients-6.9.0_2
xorg-libraries-6.9.0
xorg-server-6.9.0_1
dri-6.4.1,2
gle-3.0.3_2
