Radeon 8500 XFree 4.3.0 dri

Hi! I am trying to make Dri work with XFree4.3 (compiled from scratch, dri
of the xfree4.3-src package) on my radeon 8500. I had already done this a
bit of time ago, and now  I can't get it working anymore, on the same
hardware and the same software...
I compiled XFree86 with the host.def configured to build DRI and the drivers
for "radeon". When I configure X for loading glx and dri, it starts
normally, the logs report "Dri Enabled" but glxinfo do not find DRI. Setting
the glxinfo debug variable to verbose as seen in the faq, I could find that
the problem was that glxinfo was looking for a
"/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drm/r200_drv.so" while I had only r128_drv.so and
radeon.so in that directory. This is quite strange since the first time I
compiled X and got dri up and running, I did not have the need to check this
folder. However, I made a symlink radeon.so -> r200_drv.so and now glxinfo
finds DRI. But when I run glxgears (which at least now shows 5000fps, as
opposed to the 200fps without dri) I get only a black window, but it's not
crashed because it shows fps on the command line.
What could it be wrong? I am surprised that I had all these problems, while
the first time I compiled XFree4.3 it worked immediately... maybe I made
something wrong in the host.def file needed for xfree compiling? (this and
the kernel version from 2.4.18 to 2.4.20 are the only things that changed
from the previous compiling...)
Thanks a lot, and sorry for my bad english...
