So, it will be in 2.6.14, nice to know.

Ok, so it is normal that it didn't got build as part of the 6.9 build, as this
is part of mesa and not xorg-x11. The fact that we have two mesa packages, one
standalone and the other part of xorg-x11 is a bit confusing, but hey.
So all in all, we only need an R300 friendly drm module, which will hopefully
be in 2.6.14.
