Ahem...

Or are you talking about the DRM modules as binaries? In which case, note
you can get the CVS server to just give you the os-support part of the
main tree, and that I am, at the moment, hosting the os-support dir from
4.1.0 tarballs at http://www.iain.thomas.dial.pipex.com/os-support.tar.gz,
although it has only the linux components, and contains no binaries- just
the os-support dir from the X tree, that you can compile to get the kernel
modules for manual installation in /var/lib/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/char/drm.
The CVS command to get the os-support dir is something like:
cvs -z3 co -r xf-4_1_0 xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support
Assuming CVSROOT already set as per the cvs instructions pages. For the
DRI tree, it starts xc/xc/programs... Not xc/programs.
