I'm both the Debian maintainer and currently the most active upstream 
developper for those drivers, so I hope I will be able to help you...

First of all, a few questions:
  * What version of Debian are you currently using? (woody/stable, 
    sarge/testing or sid/unstable)
  * What kernel are you using?
  * If you're using woody/stable, would you be interrested by a backport 
    of the sarge/testing drivers?
  * Did you try with the tarball from dxr3.sourceforge.net? Or with the 
    current CVS snapshot (especially if you're using a 2.6 kernel)?
