Thank you.

OK.  I got the 32 bit version and put it in place.  (I also put the 32
bit version of /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o into
place.)  

Now I get:

libGL error: open DRM failed (Operation not permitted)
libGL error: reverting to (slow) indirect rendering


And still get software rendering.

An strace contains these lines which look like the first sign of
something going wrong:

8669  open("/dev/dri/card0", O_RDWR)    = 8
8669  ioctl(8, DECODER_SET_PICTURE, 0xffffc7c0) = -1 EINVAL (Invalid
argument)
8669  ioctl(8, DECODER_GET_CAPABILITIES, 0xffffc7c8) = -1 EINVAL
(Invalid argument)
8669  close(8)                          = 0
