DRI with ATI Radeon 9600 on AMD64 machine

[Timothy Murphy]

I'm running Fedora-5 (x86_64 version) on an AMD64 machine
with a Radeon 9600 video card.

I find that X hangs with kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 or 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5
unless I comment out "Load dri" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

Is that to be expected?
Is there anything else I could have done?

I may say that I don't notice any difference in the display.
