IIRC, this is the kernel module required for DRI with the in-tree, libre 
drivers for ATI hardware.  The matching x11-driver is "ati" or "radeon".

You other mail had this in the attachment:

which indicates that you are attempting to use the fglrx x11-driver, and 
not the radeon x11-driver.

If you use the CONFIG_RADEON_DRM kernel module, you also need to use 
the "ati" or "radeon" x11 driver.  If your use the fglrx out-of-tree, 
esclavitud kernel module (at least I think there's a kernel module by this 
name) you'll alsa need to use the "fglrx" x11 driver.

You seem to be running into a simple misconfiguration at this point.
