The radeon.o kernel module must be loaded (or built into the kernel).
The MesaGL library should have harware acceleration enabled (in Debian,
the proper package is xlibmesa-gl, which needs xlibmesa-dri for XFree86
DRI drivers).

Other hints why it doesn't work could be found in the log file
/var/log/XFree86.0.log. Further hints can be found at
