Actually, I had this problem too, and the explanation/solution is quite simple:
1) When you build a specific DRI driver from git code, the building process
also creates an up to date version of the drm.ko module. And your mach64 module
depends on this new version.
2) The mach64 drm module is not bundled in many distros so, when you install
the mach64.ko, it has no previous version in your /lib/modules/.../ directory.
But this is not the case for drm.ko . So you should replace the former module
by the new one, then modprobe will load the drm module with the correct
version.
You can search for drm.ko in the modules for the currently running linux
version with: find /lib/modules/`uname -r` -name "drm.ko"
STEPs:
1) unload any drm module: rmmod drm
2) remove the old version of the drm module (the one that is not in the 'extra'
directory)
3) update modules dependencies: depmod -a
4) load mach64 module: modprobe mach64
Hope this helps
