This isn't really adequate anymore, try something like
glxinfo|grep render

This is also fixed in upstream Git mesa_7_5_branch. However, I'm not
sure this is relevant for you:

You don't have 3D hardware acceleration anyway (and if you did, you
wouldn't hit the problem above, as the radeon drivers don't support DRI2
yet), do you have the firmware-linux package installed?
In summary, I don't think there's a bug here other than #527132.
