  The man page (dated Oct. 8, 2003) for the radeon driver in xfree86-current
lists the supported hardware as including the FireGL T2 (2D only).  The man
page in xsrc doesn't list that card as supported.  So, it should work if you
build X from xfree86-current sources rather than from netbsd xsrc.  Here's the
list from the xfree86-current man page:
