I believe that the Mobility series of Radeons use an entirely different chipset, which is not understood by the DRI developers. The only feasible way (of which I know) to get DRI on the Mobility Radeon is to use the proprietary fglrx drivers from ATI. Just a warning though, their quality is lacking. On your XF86Config-4 are you using ati or radeon driver? Regarding your question about kernel modules, DRI/DRM needs a kernel infrastructure and is provided by a module for your card (in your case the radeon kernel module) and a module for your chipset (in your case the intel_agp). I suppose you're using a Debian kenel image, and seems the modules are correctly loaded, anyway you can try to load the manually, i think in this order intel_agp, agpgart, radeon then start X and look with glxinfo if you have DRI working.

Re: opengl, ati radeon mobility m7
XFree seems to load the radeon drivers. From the log: (II) ATI: ATI driver (version 6.5.5) for chipsets: ati, ativga (II) R128: Driver for ATI Rage 128 chipsets: [list] (II) RADEON: Driver for ATI Radeon chipsets: ATI Radeon QD (AGP), [list] ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP), [list] It seems to identify the right device/driver: (II) Primary Device is: PCI 01:00:0 (II) ATI: Candidate Device section ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]. (--) Assigning device section with no busID to primary device (--) Chipset ATI Radeon Mobility M7 LW (AGP) found And then later it seems to load the radeon driver: (II) Loading sub module radeon (II) LoadModule: radeon (II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o (II) Module radeon: vendor=The XFree86 Project compiled for 4.3.0.1, module version = 4.0.1 Module class: XFree86 Video Driver ABI class: XFree86 Video Driver, version 0.6 So, unless I misunderstand the log, I'm using the radeon driver.
