this returned a slightly modified error, saying the Radeon was enabled
but no modes, even though I had the ModeLine explicitly specified.
Still crashed X.

I added "nomodeset" to my kernel options, and X started. Direct
Rendering working with glxgears at 2700 fps on that crappy old card. I
think it was only doing 1500 with the monitor attached. Not sure if
that is related to anything here.

Two one liners = 1 solution. I love it. Thanks a bunch guys. :)
