I think you're wrong...

I've got in XF86Config:
-----------------------------------
         Identifier  "Card0"
         Driver      "ati"
         VendorName  "ATI Technologies Inc"
         BoardName   "Radeon R200 QL [Radeon 8500 LE]"
         BusID       "PCI:1:0:0"
-----------------------------------
and dri seems to work well with radeon 8500:
-----------------------------------
machine:~$ glxgears
11563 frames in 5.0 seconds = 2312.600 FPS
8440 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1688.000 FPS
8621 frames in 5.0 seconds = 1724.200 FPS
