No, there shouldn't be a problem with the newer kernel, unless someone put
the new mach64.ko in the new kernel which doesn't seem very propable.
>From the X.org message, it seems that you do use new drm.ko and mach64.ko
(from the linux-core subdir), this is irrelevant of whether you installed 
libdrm.

Check http://wiki.x.org/wiki/CompileXserverManually to see if it helps.
