no DRM with 5.0R-p7 and Radeon 9000 Fire GL (Compaq Evo N800w laptop)

Hi,

I can't get DRM initialized on my Compaq Evo N800w laptop with FreeBSD
5.0-RELEASE-p7 and XFree86-4.3.0.  When I load the radeon module,
nothing appears in dmesg.  AGP is compiled into the kernel as "device
agp".

The same kernel and X did initialize DRM on my older laptop, a HP
Omnibook 6100 (Radeon 7500).

The chip is recognized by XFree86 as:

        ATI Technologies Inc Radeon R250 Lf [Radeon Mobility 9000 M9]
        rev 1, Mem @ 0x88000000/27, 0x80380000/16, I/O @ 0x3000/8

which according to
http://people.freebsd.org/~anholt/dri/troubleshooting.html should work
now ("...unsupported except in XFree86 4.3.0 with updated DRM.").
