Heya,

Did you load the dri or compiled it in the kernel?

device          drm             # DRM for ATI
device          radeondrm       # Radeon 1100

Mine isn't supported by xorg yet, and detected in xorg.conf as

        VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
        BoardName   "RS482 [Radeon Xpress 200M]"
        BusID       "PCI:1:5:0"

So you need DRI module to be compiled in the kernel or load it in
/boor/loader.conf
