someone correct me if I'm wrong... but I believe the 2.4.8 kernel was the
last version that was actually 'synced' with very recent drm code. Any
kernel before this was 'lagging' somewhat in comparison to the drm code with
XFree86-4.1.0.
you either want to compile the drm modules below 'os-support' in the
XFree86-4.1.0 source... or it's possible that upgrading your kernel to
2.4.8/2.4.9 to get more recent drm code/modules will help (I'm not positive
about the kernel route... since I'm still running 2.4.5)
BTW - I believe this *is* off-topic for the list ;-)
