Infact I have tried all the combinations me too, but I found that 
plain xorg 6.8.2 doesn't work after the patch (it seems to remember 
it used to work before, but I can be wrong) and with the latest 
snapshot (903) the latest dri produces the error  above resulting 
slover than before the patch.

Any other idea/test/patch ?
Let's keep fighting ... :-)
