As I wrote in my first post of this thread I wasn't even able to compile any 
running xserver, see 
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/xorg/2005-December/011525.html for 
details. With your driver DRI is not working neither:

machine # glxinfo | grep "direct rendering"
Unrecognized deviceID 2592
direct rendering: No

What information do you exactly need?
