That would be good, but AFAIK there's no such thing for our hardware yet. You'll have to go to xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel and do make -f Makefile.linux (won't build out of the box - I've added '#include to drmP.h and changed the function in r128_dma.c containing i386 assembly to just call mb() - anyone knows if this makes sense?) and then modprobe r128.o > (I have ATI{mach64,r128}/IMSTT support enabled by default - since these are > the cards I have). Only the r128 is even theoretically supported by DRI ATM.
