your rv280 is a 9200SE, I assume the Athlon is a 32-bit only version,
if so drm/dri works perfectly on this setup, lots of people have exact
same setups running for a long time, so I'd say something wierd
happened locally on your system to break it...

I think I tried debugging it before for you to no avail, but it is
definitely a problem only specific to your system, my 9200 rocks along
at home fine in 3D...

The last time I think I gave up due to information overload about
different versions of X and kernels,

If you could just run a 2.6.10 plain release kernel with the DRM
loaded, and X 6.8.1 or your distros X and tell me what glxinfo and the
/var/log/Xorg.0.log say I might be able to help... if glxinfo reports
Indirect Rendering, try running it as root, if it still does it then
try LIBGL_DEBUG=1 glxinfo and report that...
