I have the same problem too.

I supose that latest libdrm is istalled after "./autogen.sh" and "make
install" as stated in item 1.3 from here:
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building  But I don't know how to download
compile and install ati ddx. If there is a guide from freedesktop or
anywhere else, please tell us.

When I had kernel 2.6.17.7 everything was fine. The problem appeared when
upgrading to kernel 2.6.17.14. I did not upgrade drm sources, I just
recompiled it, so it looks like a problem with the newer kernel. Right
now, I have kernel 2.6.17-10 on Ubuntu Edgy.
