Where did you find these instructions?

DRM is not the 3D library.  It is needed for accelerated 3D 
rendering, but it hasn't got anything to do with 3D itself.

Didn't you read the whole of the following page?
http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Compiling+the+source+code

Under "Building the DRM kernel modules" it says: "On modern kernels 
(2.6.22 and later) the DRM is up-to-date. Compile these modules 
yourself only if your kernel is older."

__only if__

Ah yes, the current DRM tree isn't any good.  It freezes because it 
panics, and two keyboard leds go blinking.

sudo find /lib/modules/ -name drm.ko -exec rm -vf {} \;
sudo find /lib/modules/ -name via.ko -exec rm -vf {} \;

Then reinstall your kernel.  Find out your current kernel 
with 'dpkg -S drm.ko', then use that name in:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall KERNELNAME

Probably something like this:

sudo apt-get install --reinstall linux-image-2.6.22-14-generic
