In Gutsy all you need to compile is the mach64.ko DRM module (git'd from
freedesktop.org), as all of the other modules are compiled 'correctly'. It
is possible this is all that matters in Hardy, as well.

The main reason nothing can realistically be done about this bug (which
pains me!) is the fact that mach64.ko is not part of the Linux kernel
source. While X.org moves to DRI2, we could see this resolved. Presently,
mach64.ko (DRI/DRM for Mach64) is not considered to be a 'secure' module. I
have no idea why this is.
