I checked this again and it's definitely a firmware issue. Thanks to Michael
Daenzer there is an easy fix for this. Download and install
drm-trunk-module-src package from
http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk-sid/ as well as appropriate
kernel-headers-2.6.5 package. Then follow standard procedure (as a root):
cd /usr/src
tar xvfz drm-trunk.tar.gz
export KVERS=2.6.5-XXX
export KSRC=/usr/src/kernel-headers-2.6.5-XXX
cd modules/drm-trunk
debian/rules kdist_image
This creates drm-trunk-module...deb package in /usr/src directory, which can
be easily installed with dpkg -i (no --force-overwrite necessary). At least,
this worked for me ;-).
Cheers,
Slaven
