With an ATI Radeon Mobility M7 (7500), the gutsy beta desktop live cd still has this problem:
        (EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI.
        (EE) AIGLX: Screen 0 is not DRI capable
and
        (WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available
        (WW) RADEON(0): Direct rendering disabled

For me, unloading and reloading radeon (`sudo rmmod radeon && sudo modprobe radeon`) as sugested in Xorg.0.log:

>(WW) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP not available
>(EE) RADEON(0): [agp] AGP failed to initialize. Disabling the DRI.
>(II) RADEON(0): [agp] You may want to make sure the agpgart kernel module

solves _this_ problem, and gets me direct rendering. (How can I check / change the load order?)

Also take a look a bug #144077.
