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? -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper)/ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer XFree86 and DRI project member / CS student, Free Software enthusiast
