it finally works; the problem was that indeed the r100 driver was loaded, 
and not the r200 driver: radeon_drv.o was the correct version, though. 
 
the cause hid one level deeper: radeon_drv.o correctly identified the 
chip as belonging to the r200_family, but we had built a libGL w/ 
built-in dri driver, for debugging purposes, as described in host.def. 
this does work for the radeon r100 driver currently, but not for the r200, 
since the symbol glxbuiltinr200 is not correctly synced through 
all imakefiles. 
 
using open-source software is generally getting pretty hard meanwhile: 
working through the internal structures of ten thousand subsystems.  
 
for comparison: getting the ati fglrx driver to work took 30 
minutes (even w/ kernel 2.6). yet solving all problems w/ the open source 
driver (i.e., agpgart - radeon_cp_init - visual garbage even in 2d mode w/ 
all xfree versions including 4.3.99 - except current cvs) has required 
several days of work ..... 
 
thanks, andreas, for pointing out the r100 issue.
