I had basically the same experience on Red Hat 7.2. I found this site and downloaded the binary Radeon drivers. http://dri.sourceforge.net/download.phtml No manual installation is involved, the script does everything. These binary packages are updated from the CVS trunk every night with the latest stable code.

It seems to be working fine (a big improvement over MDK 8.1 with XF86 4.1.0) except for DRI. Everything in my log looks good, it appears to load the required modules, enable hardware acceleration, etc. but then it suddenly says that direct rendering is disabled with no explanation.
