FWIW Michael of the Phoronix forum mentioned that the 8.39.4 release has
been pulled by ATI/AMD. Obviously the "Testing use only" thingy should
not have been in this release. So expect a new one soon. Regarding DRI,
it should work as it does in previous releases. I have not seen any
report that said otherwise. Here's what I have in xorg.conf:

Section "Module"
	Load  "extmod"
	Load  "dri"
	Load  "glx"
	Load  "GLcore"
	Load  "fbdevhw"
EndSection

I don't know if Composite still has to be disabled. Last time I messed
with xorg.conf I disabled it. It's easy enough to enable it with the
setting in your /etc/X11/xorg.conf

Section "Extensions"
	Option	    "Composite" "Disabled"
EndSection

Section "Extensions"
	Option	    "Composite" "Enabled"
EndSection
