On my box, /dev/dri is a directory with /dev/dri/card* being the actual device nodes. In any case, it shouldn't make your "system hang". What exactly happens when you launch X?
Yes, you're right /dev/dri is not a device. The /dev/dri directory doesn't exist, nor the card0 device. As I wrote, launching kdm or startx makes my box unusable (black screen, no mouse and keyboard). I have only one computer, so I couldn't try to login from another box. I've commented out the 'Load "dri"' line from the xorg.conf, and Xwindow works. I can live without dri.
What kernel version are you running? It works fine for me with drm and radeon built as modules (and automatically loaded) with Linus' git tree, but other recent kernels (>=2.6.16 IIRC) should do the trick too.
