>Description:
When you startx with a R200 radeon and dri enabled the system hangs.  My monitor will switch to 128x1024@85hz and will be black with random color across the very top.  The mouse and power button works for a time, and the keyboard dies right away.  Mode 0666 is set in xorg conf.  
I don't see Loading R200 Microcode in my dmesg, and there are 2 different microcodes.  Only one shows up in dmesg so I put a line of code to show if the other one was being loaded.  Nether messsage showed up in my dmesg.  I then changed the code to always load the R200 code.  It did not work.  So no microcode for the radeon is being loaded on my system, ever.  I have an nforce 2 chipset.
      
>How-To-Repeat:
Edit xorg.conf to load dri.  Have a radeon 8500(or some R200 or maybe a R100 core).
startx
>Fix:
Get the code to load.  Maybe the card is not being identified right?
