I'm using a AGP Radeon 9250. Ever since I enabled direct rendering I get 
similar notifications in dmesg:
info: [drm] Setting GART location based on new memory map
info: [drm] Loading R200 Microcode
info: [drm] writeback test succeeded in 1 usecs
drm0: [ITHREAD]

$ glxinfo | grep rendering
direct rendering: Yes
$

I'm running 7.2-Prerelease (i386) from May, 1.

BTW: hald is not running here, I tweaked my xorg.conf as per the entry 
20090123 in ports/UPDATING.

HTH,
Philipp
