Don't use XFree86-3.x.x it does not support the full DRI options available for fully supported cards such as the Radeon 7500. Ask someone on this list with a Radeon7500 to post their XF86Config, copy it and then check the /var/log/XFree86.0.log to see if there are any errors. Possibly you need to update Xconfigurator also? What distro are you using? (Xconfigurator is a RH specific tool AFAIK and in their latest distro release, 8.0, they've dropped it in favour of redhat-config-xfree86).
