Ok, I think what it is referring to is mesa... Which if you aren't
running from git or using one of the patches isn't new enough to support
your card with 3D. I posted a patch for the mesa ports a little while
back to x11@ I think. I didn't include libdrm in my patch, but there
are a couple of patches floating around for that as well.
If it is for some reason still crashing, then it will take a lot more
detailed debugging to sort it out. I regularly use an HD 4650, but I
have a 3650 and 3850 around here somewhere also...
