It looks like the patchlevel was increased, but the minor (or
major?) version should have been if they're not compatible.

BTW, here are the versions:

  Driver      XFree86 4.1.0     Linux 2.4.4 kernel    XFree86 4.1.0 checks for
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
  gamma          1.0.0               1.0.0                   1.0+.x
  i810           1.1.0               1.1.0                   1.1+.x
  mga            3.0.2               2.0.1                   3.0+.x
  r128           2.1.6               2.1.2                   2.1+.x
  radeon         1.1.1               1.0.0                   1.1+.x
  tdfx           1.0.0               1.0.0                   1.0+.x

Note: "N+" means values >= N.  The checks imply that drm modules with newer
minor version numbers will work with older XFree86 driver modules
(if the major version number hasn't changed), and that patchlevel changes
indicate changes that don't affect the user<->kernel interface.
