This happens to work for me, with r300 Radeon card, provided I have

        Option      "AGPMode" "8"

line in a "Device" section of xorg.conf.  Otherwise it fails (or at
least it did the last time I tried with this line commented out).
You also need mesa-libGL and mesa-libGLU packages installed.

Results of a failure are more severe in my case than just DRI
disabled.  Namely a blank screen and a computer which has to be
rebooted by a remote access.  Other values that 8 are also bad.
