Many thanks, that seems to help.  glxgears -info now reports:

OpenGL vendor string: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.
OpenGL renderer string: Mesa DRI R600 (RV610 94C1) 20090101 x86/MMX/SSE2 TCL
OpenGL version string: 1.5 Mesa 7.8-devel

If I follow the kde 4.0 composite instructions, compositing is available
but is disabled because it is too slow.   I only see one suspicious message:

(II) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI2 capable

If I disable checks, I can run with compositing, but it is definitely
very slow.

If you notice anything conflicting in my xorg.conf please let me know.
