DRI on Mach64 was never supported by standard kernels due to security
problems. You need a DRM kernel module from DRM CVS.

        cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri login
        [hit Enter at the password prompt]
        cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous at anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri co drm
        cd drm/linux-core
        make
        cp drm.ko mach64.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm/
        depmod -a
        [restart X]

  Felix
