There is two part that come from DRI: xserver-xfree86-dri-trunk : the xfree server
And the drm kernel module. The message you see is because the kernel module that is shipped with the kernel is not for xfree 4.2.1. You need to rebuild your kernel without any drm stuff and get the kernel module source from the DRI project or by adding the following line in your /etc/apt/sources.list : # Daenzer Xfree Stuff deb http://people.debian.org/~daenzer/dri-trunk/ ./ And get drm-trunk-module-src, then build (using kernel-package) and install. That said that only for the 3D part. The server alone should be enough to get X working.
