In that case, just to clear things up (there was also some stuff going
in private email), there are three things you need in order to get dri
running:

1. The mach64 xserver (in the xserver package).
2. The mesa libraries (in the xlibmesa packages).
3. The mach64 drm kernel module (in the src package). Take note that this
   needs to be compile for you kernel. The sources are put in
   /usr/src/drm-mach64.tar.gz. They need to untared which goes into the
   directory modules/drm-mach64 and then need to be compiled for your
   kernel. There is a small bug with that package that won't let it
   compile, replace the modules/drm-mach64/debian/control.m4 file with
   the attached one and it should solve it.
   I will have to see about the requirements for compiling it (I need
   to see if the whole kernel source needs to be fetched). Anyway, if
   you have a kernel source tree then in its top directory you need to
   do make-kpkg --revision <revision> --added-modules drm-mach64 modules-image
   The will builg the drm-mach64 deb.
