Unless I'm mistaken, the drm changed for X4.1. Kernel-2.4.9 has the right version for the newer X. In the 2.4.8-ac series there was the option to compile the newer drivers for 4.1, or stick with the older ones from 4.0.x. In the released version of 2.4.9, you lost the choice. A month or two ago, someone had a similar problem, just reversed: he had the newer kernel and the older X. After upgrading the X, it was clear sailing.
HTH.
