On your XF86Config-4 are you using "ati" or "radeon" driver?
Regarding your question about kernel modules, DRI/DRM needs a kernel
infrastructure and is provided by a module for your card (in your case
the radeon kernel module) and a module for your chipset (in your case
the intel_agp).
I suppose you're using a Debian kenel image, and seems the modules are
correctly loaded, anyway you can try to load the manually, i think in
this order intel_agp, agpgart, radeon then start X and look with
glxinfo if you have DRI working.
