I assume you mean a binary snapshot from dri.sf.net? They currently
suffer from binary compatibility issues, see the dri-devel archives for
details.
However, there's a much better solution:
deb http://penguinppc.org/~daenzer/debian/dri-trunk/ ./
Install the xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk package and build the DRM from the
drm-trunk-module-src package.
