radeon 9200, Linux 2.6 and Xfree 4.3.0 dri not working



I am stuck trying to get my radeon 9200 based graphics card to work with dri.  
I have had it working with a (now destroyed) gentoo setup so I know it is 
possible

I have linux 2.6.0 (using the standard debian unstable k7 image)

Xfree 4.3.0 from experimental version as printed in the log 

XFree86 Version 4.3.0.1 (Debian 4.3.0-0pre1v5 20031207095205 
daniels@debian.org)
Release Date: 15 August 2003
X Protocol Version 11, Revision 0, Release 6.6
Build Operating System: Linux 2.4.23-pre6 i686 [ELF]
Build Date: 07 December 2003

lsmod reports the following modules (amongst others) loaded

sis_agp                 5760  1
agpgart                32168  1 sis_agp
radeon                118892  0


When it loads up it appears to be going well - with  the log reporting the 
following

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0
(--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device
(WW) RADEON: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:1:0:1) found
(--) Chipset ATI Radeon 9200 5961 (AGP) found

but a bit later it seems to be starting to go downhill

(**) RADEON(0): Using AGP 4x mode
(II) RADEON(0): AGP Fast Write disabled by default
(II) RADEON(0): Depth moves disabled by default

and a bit later looking positive, but ultimately failing without any clear 
explanation why

I am struggling to get any meaningful information about whats not working here 
and why.  Can someone help please?
