It should come along with X11, that's the place where it's being 
maintained. If you compiled X from source, you can find the module 
sources under

xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux

alternatively, you can get the X11 4.2 DRM modules at

http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/

However, the DRI is only needed for 3D acceleration and X tends to run 
fairly well without it. So getting the right kernel modules might not 
solve any immediate problems.
