It's not about supporting a 'DRI version' but about providing a DRM
version. The r128 driver in 4.2.0 uses a new ioctl for 2D acceleration
with DRI enabled, which is only available in the r128 DRM version 2.2.0
or later. Unfortunately, that still wasn't merged into 2.4.19, but I
think it might be in 2.4.20. In the meantime, there's
http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ .
Branden, is there a specific reason why you don't provide a DRM source
package like drm-trunk-module-src from my dri-trunk debs?
