I pulled it from CVS.

I haven't had a chance to try things out on my i845 machines, but my
i830 laptop won't go above 640x480 because of the stolen memory
problem.

In my case, no; the module ABI has changed and new modules won't work
with the old server (at least for the i810/i830/i845 driver).  I ended
up copying the XFree binary and everything on xc/exports.  Now I need
a kernel upgrade to see if it actually works.
