    I'm running Fedora-5 (x86_64 version) on an AMD64 machine

    I find that X hangs with kernel 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 or 2.6.17-1.2139_FC5
    unless I comment out "Load dri" in /etc/X11/xorg.conf .

    Is that to be expected?
    Is there anything else I could have done?


You might have hit a bug in the r300 3d driver which is still experimental but seems to have been enabled sometime during the FC5 release cycle (it's working for me on a Radeon 9700 mobile card).

If you want it fixed you can file a bugreport. I suppose the X server log file (/var/log/Xorg.0.log) is an interesting starting point.
    I may say that I don't notice any difference in the display.


DRI only affects 3d acceleration. 2d applications will work fine without it.

There is a bug report for DRI module https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=193276 It was reported to be fixed in rawhide, but I did not have a chance to test it. Hopefully it will be fixed in FC6 which is not far away. This bug was reported for i386 architecture, but could be architecture independent.
