ReL DRI doesn't work on 2.4.0 but does on prerelease-ac5

[Michael D. Crawford]

I get, with XFree86 4.0.1 and an ATI Rage Millenium card:

> (EE) r128(0): R128DRIScreenInit failed (DRM version = 2.1.2, expected 1.0.x). 
> Disabling DRI. 

Jeff Hartmann (jhartmann@valinux.com) says:

> XFree 4.0.2 will fix this

OK, so I'll give a try at building 4.0.2 the Slackware way.  While unfortunately
the Slackware packages for 4.0.2 are not yet available, the diffs to the 4.0.1
sources (mostly the Imake files and site.def) used to build their version (with
its different directory layout) are in:

ftp://ftp.slackware.com/pub/slackware/slackware-current/contrib/contrib-sources/XFree86-4.0.1/

Steven Walter (srwalter@yahoo.com) suggested that the incompatibility would be
fixed by using a -ac version since 2.4.0.  I built 2.4.0, but it didn't fix it,
so given what Jeff said I guess this is a feature not a bug.
