Dunno exactly, but I've 'upgraded' to testing and it has 4.2 and that works fine, I'm not sure if I have DRI working though. I wouldn't know how to check that.
You could have a link to the testing environment in your sources.conf, do an apt-get update then manually install the packages you want with apt-get install xfree..... and remove the line from your sources.conf again. In that case, you only get the packages from testing you want without 'upgrading' everything to testing. If you do however want an upgrade, don't forget to specify apt-get dist-upgrade (it does a better check of all the dependencies).
