Description of Problem: 
With a fresh install, Ark Linux is unable to use DRI for the ATI All In Wonder 
7500 Radeon (Radeon RV200 QW [7500] rev 0, 64MB video RAM). This is a serious 
out of the box hardware configuration issue.

XFree86-4.3.0-7ark 
 
How Reproducible: 
Install Ark Linux on a system with any 7x00 Radeon to reproduce. 
 
Additional Information: (Work-around/hack) 
To get DRI working, I added the following to the following files:
