Have You loaded this module? You may also need to load agpgart (and
chipset specific agp module if You are using 2.6). Check Your kernel
messages it should display something like that:

$ dmesg | grep drm
[drm] Initialized radeon 1.10.0 20020828 on minor 0: ATI Radeon RV280
9200 SE
[drm] Loading R200 Microcode

You will see only first message until dri is initialized. 

BTW: Make sure You don't have drm compiled into Your kernel if You want
to use module.
