I dont know about recent improvement to the vodoo series in DRI or XF86.
For a startup its the simplest thing to get the set of XF86 source tarballs,
extract them to something ~/xc and do an
echo "#define BuildXF86DRM YES" >~/xc/config/cf/host.def
followed by a
cd ~/xc; make World
Installation? Hmm, i never needed that for my purposes. ;-)
Try a "make install".
