I tried to get 3D working on a Radeon 7500 but never had any luck. I 
think there's something missing. It works under FreeBSD, and in FreeBSD 
there are two modules loaded - drm.ko and radeon.ko. It doesn't seem 
that DragonFlyBSD has a drm.ko module. Is that the part that is missing? 
Other than you're hardware being too new, I think you might run into 
that issue too.
