I have the same problem with a Radeon Mobility 9000 (RV250). When booting on ubuntu kernel ppa 2.6.32-rc7+ or 2.6.31-drm-next with modesetting enabled via "options radeon modeset=1", dri can't be enabled, and X is switching back to Software Rasterizer. I have tried the stock drivers/mesa, the ubuntu-x, and the xorg-edgers ppa. All these packages work fine on 2.6.31-14. After some research, I ended up trying the ideas tormod suggested on #radeon (fbcon loaded earlier) : http://www.radeonhd.org/?page=archive_display&c=radeon&m=10&y=2009&d=2009-10-28, but none of them fixed the problem.
I need recent KMS because of #444139 and other freezes/crashes when using DRI1, and #413259 which was fixed in 2.6.32 as far as I can see.
