You need both for DRI to work - a kernel module and a userspace X11

via 41568 1
drm 62356 2 via
via_agp 9088 1
agpgart 29744 2 drm,via_agp
And the X driver is "via_drv.so":
/usr/lib/xorg/modules/drivers/via_drv.so
If the X server is properly configured, the kernel modules will
automatically be loaded when X starts. Check Xorg logs.

Now that I
look at the contents of the FC5 distro, I see that there
is
a "xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-4.i3..>"
RPM, which I'm guessing would
contain the DRI module that I need?

No, I think DRI is part of the kernel. I compile it as a module and
then load it as 'drm'. See my other post for the two Xorg-X11 drivers
in use on AMD64 with multiple sound cards.
