The process requires both kernel space and user space software. You will need the kernel, the DRM/DRI and mesa source trees.

I obtained the DRM source with git.

cd
mkdir drm
cd drm
git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm
cd
mkdir mesa
cd mesa
cvs -d:pserver:anonymous@anoncvs.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa co Mesa
cd
mkdir kernel
cd kernel
wget http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/v2.6/linux-2.6.16.18.tar.bz2
tar xjf linux-2.6.16.18.tar.bz2
cd ~/drm/drm/linux-core
make LINUXDIR=~/kernel/linux-2.6.18/

All going well you will end up with a bunch of .o files in your ~/drm/drm/linux-core directory.

Now you need to build mesa linking against these .o files.

cd ~/mesa/Mesa-6.5.1
make realclean
sed -ri 's|DRM_SOURCE_PATH.+$|DRM_SOURCE_PATH = $(TOP)/../../drm/drm|' configs/default

We need to edit the config to point to the DRM modules. And make it.

make linux-solo
