Direct Rendering on a PCIe x800

So I received an e-mail back from Rene saying that he has 2D working
properly (with DRI enabled) on his X600.  I'm still running into the
same problem, though.  I've tried various options, even grabbed Rene's
config file and used it (after editing the resolution down a few
notches), but still get the same screen corruption.

Should I go ahead and open up a pr for this bug?  I'm assuming that this
is a FreeBSD specific issue as the driver works fine on the same card
under linux.
