Summary: Attempted DRI on G200

I am running a Matrox Millenium G200 8MB SGRAM (AGP).

I have attempted to use DRI through several means:
a) tarballs from www.xfree86.org
b) CVS from dri.sourceforge.net

In combination with the following kernel versions:
i) 2.2.17
ii) 2.4.0-test9

No combination worked, despite the fact that in all
instances I followed the instructions in the
compilation guide VERY carefully (I successfully
compiled and installed from CVS 3-4 times).

startx fails with two types of messages:
i) DRM version 2.0.1 found, but X expected 1.0.x
	this happened when I tried to use Kernel
	2.4.0-test9 I didn't _want_ to run this kernel
	version (I'm wary of development kernels),
	but it seemed the only way.
ii) [drm] dma Initialized start
    [drm] dma Initialization failed.
	...
	This occurred with the 2.2.17 kernel I use.
	I was carefull to leave enough Video memory
	for buffers (640x480@16bpp) and this still
	happened (BTW- it said it allocated 32
	DMA command buffers successfully, or something)
	I'm not running an exceptional number of
	devices/PCI cards- but looking at someone elses
	startx dump indicated that at this point I
	should expect to see something like "using 
	IRQ x". Could I have run out of IRQs?
	It also fails to use AGP 2x. I have a 2x card,
	and a 4x motherboard, so I don't know why this
	is happening.

The other odd things which might be a factor:
AMD Thunderbird 700
Asus A7V Motherboard (VIA KT133 chipset, with AGP 4x
support)

Any help would be appreciated.
