DRI and the radeon.o kernel module

[Stefan Bruda]

Hi all.

I have recently installed XFree86 4.3.0 on my Tibook (the one with
Radeon M7 LW (AGP) in it).  The installation was, by the way,
painless, maybe except the rather large build time.  Anyway, the
problem is now that DRI refuses to start--this is kind of an
improvement (with XFree86 4.2.0 it will shut down the monitor for
good) but it is also the case that it kind of sucks (DRI being my main
reason for upgrading the X server in the first place).  This is what
/var/log/XFree86.0.log says about it:

(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch.
[dri] radeon.o kernel module version is 1.1.1 but version 1.2.1 or newer is needed.
[dri] Disabling DRI.

I then looked at the syslog and sure enough the radeon.o module is
1.1.1.  I am running what I believe is quite an up to date kernel,
namely 2.4.20-ben9.  Anybody has any idea about how to get a newer
module or failing that any workaround for the problem?

Thanks in advance,
Stefan
