there are 3 components to a 3d driver, DRM, DRI and DDX :-), DRM - lives in kernel - the i830 DRM hasn't needed any major changes in the two years. DRI driver - lives in Mesa tree and /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/i830_dri.so, this is now at 2004, the version in X.org tree is older, probably same as in XFree86, DDX driver - lives in DRI and X.org trees, this is the 2d driver mainly but calls the 3d driver initialisation, So you have a new DRM, but an older DRI. to update your DRI use a snapshot ..
