Thank you both for your very fast replies.  I'll reply inline below:

Here is my output from lsmod (after turning alsa off so it would be
easier to view):
 lsmod

I first tried compiling the drm module from the kernel, but then after
reading the wiki docs, I recompiled the kernel and removed the drm
module, which also removed the via module from the kernel itself.  I
then went to the drm cvs directory and followed the wiki's
instructions on installing drm and via from that:
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Compiling+the+source+code

I did every step, twice actually, the second time using straight cut 'n paste:

Direct Rendering Manager :
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri login
(password for anonymous is empty, just hit enter)
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri co drm
Install libdrm
cd drm
./autogen.sh
make
make install
Install kernel module
cd linux-core
make LINUXDIR=/lib/modules/`uname -r`/build DRM_MODULES=via
cp *.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/
depmod -ae

Which is why I'm at a loss...

I checked twice, both modules are in there and I am able to modprobe
up drm.  I even moved the directory completely, re-followed the
instructions, checked again (the drm and via modules returned after
the cp command above) and did a depmod -ae, and still get the same
error.

If anyone has any more ideas, I'm totally open to suggestion.  I'll
start over again, go from scratch and see what happens.  Might just be
my kernel going nuts and not recognizing my modules for some reason...

Thanks!
