Well, if you are for DRI, then you can use

http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk-unstable/

They build fine on my testing box (that's where the alpha.deb come
from). The modules are in a seperate deb, which you can install and
then compile with "make-kpkg modules" (check the exact syntax from the
man page).

Unfortunately the page is currently offline, so if you are interested
I can provide you the *deb for download, contact me off-list if you
are interested.

Greetings
