Summary: latest kernel drivers?

Initial Comment:
I have a radeon DDR 32M and dri works fine on my 
mandrake 8 with kernel 2.4.4 and X 4.01.

When I upgraded to X 4.10 glxinfo reports dri works. 
The problem is that there are deeper problems that 
glxinfo cannot tell me... If I run glxgears, it's 
fine and reports 1070+ fps. But when I close its 
window, artifacts get left behind and messes up the 
displays of the windows below it after it exits. Then 
programs that use Open GL don't work anymore like 
chromium and tuxracer; They change the resolution of 
my desktop but do not launch all the way. Glxinfo 
shows that I'm using the client radeon version 4.0.1 
(from XF86DRIGetClientDriverName). So the question 
is, is there a newer version of this kernel module 
and where can I get it?

Knowing that I needed a new driver, I compiled the 
kernel module from linux kernel 2.4.5 hoping that 
the newer software might help. Wrong! I get the this 
problem that seems to be common to many of the 
posters. I got the message in my 
/var/log/xfree86.0.log the familiar:
(EE) RADEON(0): [dri] RADEONDRIScreenInit 
failed...(blah blah)...kernel module version is 1.0.0 
but version 1.1.x is needed...
