The "r300" DRI driver (in conjunction with the X.org "radeon" driver)
supports this card, but the r300 driver is not stable yet and many
people have reported hangs.

The latest versions in CVS and GIT may be more stable than the ones
you have. See http://thinkwiki.org/wiki/How_to_compile_an_experimental_X_server
for a build script.

If you encounter problems please file bugs on https://bugs.freedesktop.org .
