I've been seeing some suspicious e-mails regarding DRM version
mismatches, so I spent this morning digging into the r128 DRM versions. 
>From what I've looked at, it appears backwards compatability from a
kernel perspective is maintained (at least from XFree86 4.1.0 forward)
for the r128 driver.  However, the latest Linux kernels have not been
updated with the XFree86 4.2 DRM modules.  This results in the DRI being
disabled for users of XFree86 4.2 when they are running the DRM modules
provided with the Linux kernels.

The Linux kernel DRM modules need to be updated to the latest XFree86
4.2 versions.  Any Volunteers?

BTW, does anyone know what the dri-4.0 modules are used for?  They are
seriously out of date.

Here's the version information I dug up this morning for the r128:
