It works on my T42p with FreeBSD 6.0 and these ports:
dri-6.4.1,2
xorg-6.9.0
This is what part of my xorg.conf looks like:
Section "Device"
Identifier "Card0"
Driver "radeon"
VendorName "ATI Technologies Inc"
BoardName "Radeon Mobility M10 NT (RV350-WS)"
BusID "PCI:1:0:0"
# AGPMode is only used when DRI is enabled
Option "AGPMode" "4"
Option "AGPSize" "128"
Option "DynamicClocks" "On"
Option "EnableDepthMoves" "True"
# Enable Page flipping for 3D Acceleration, but might not work
Option "EnablePageFlip" "On"
Screen 0
EndSection
This is some of what glxinfo outputs:

I know glxgears is not a real benchmark but I get around 1550 FPS from
it. I've forgotten how much I got without.
Just use the correct dri port and make sure there is nothing weird in
your xorg.conf file. If you have more trouble post the xorg.conf and
Xorg log file.
Thanks
