 My guess is that the radeon driver in the X server doesn't work with
 the DRI driver in Mesa 6.5.

 Which actually screams dependency problem (besides a more subtle
 problem in Mesa's design -- it should fall back to indirect rendering,
 instead of doing this).

 Does that mean "mesa from September 24th, 2004"?
