Thank you for your help!

My card is a Radeon Mobility 7500. According to the DRI wiki it is a rv200
based card. 
In the kernel, I didn't find any according firmware (in /lib/firmware/radeon).
But I did compile a kernel with this options:

CONFIG_FW_LOADER=y
CONFIG_FIRMWARE_IN_KERNEL=y
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE="radeon/R100_cp.bin radeon/R200_cp.bin"
CONFIG_EXTRA_FIRMWARE_DIR="/lib/firmware/"

When booting that kernel, I still have software rasterizer:

$ glxinfo | grep render
direct rendering: Yes
OpenGL renderer string: Gallium 0.4 on softpipe



Part of kernel.log:

$ dmesg | grep radeon
