It's actually not libdrm that is the primary issue, I'm sorry for saying that.
It's the nouveau_drv.so thing - the actual X driver.
Anyway, since I had looked at the libdrm sources, I had most of this on my machine anyway, so I've compiled it all, and am going to reboot and see if I can make a few symlinks work.
IOW, right now I have this:
[root@nehalem ~]# cd /usr/lib64/xorg/modules/drivers/ [root@nehalem drivers]# ll nouveau_drv.so* lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 21 2010-03-04 17:00 nouveau_drv.so -> nouveau_drv.so-0.0.16 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 343784 2010-03-04 16:59 nouveau_drv.so-0.0.15 -rwxr-xr-x 1 root root 1698805 2010-03-04 16:59 nouveau_drv.so-0.0.16
and I'll see if that works (yeah, yeah, I didn't strip the thing, and it's compiled with whatever defaults that probably include debugging too, so it's huge).
Quite frankly, I still think that I shouldn't have to play these kinds of games. I think the versioning should be built in. And I still think that "staging" is not an excuse for "it's bad crap, and we don't care"
