You need that card device:
~ $ ls -ld /dev/dri
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 22 14:10 /dev/dri
~ $ ls -l /dev/dri
total 0
crw-rw-rw- 1 root video 226, 0 Jan 22 14:10 card0
Sorry but I didn't see the start of the thread. Another
thing you will also need is agp support (agpgart).
be sure and load the agpgart module _before_ starting X.

Loading agppart was the key, I added it with modconf before
starting X, the device node was created somehow, and DRI is
loading fine. Still not enough to allow this tired old
K6-III/450 to play DVDs, though :-(
This should be more than enough to play DVD's with mplayer. What
player are you using? The DRI is a bonus. I think what you're
looking for is simply the X Video Extension (xv). I've only
recently enabled DRI on one computer with a Radeon VE, but have
been able to watch videos of various formats at decent frame
rates for the past two years or so.
