This happened to me as well on my laptop with a Radeon 7500 M7.  I put
the game on a system with an NVidia card and it worked perfectly.  I am
pretty sure this is by design since NVidia was a part of the process and
had some promo stuff with it

I think I read on /. that NVidia put out a bootable Linux CD with this
game so people could play it.
If you look at the FAQ for AmericasArmy, it doesn't say that only NVidia
is required, though it lists OpenGL drivers from NVidia and XIG as being
known to work:

I doubt it is an DRI issue and more of a card issue.
