Not sure about tainting the kernel, but it sounds like you either already have
the in-kernel drm module loaded or it's compiled into the kernel directly.

Dry running lsmod and see if drm appears there. You may also try a restart and
then loading the mach64 and drm modules (this will remove the drm module for
you if it's there).

If this doesn't work have a look at the file /boot/config-2.6.17.3 (assuming
slackware stores it in the same place) and check that you don't have the line
CONFIG_DRM=y
in it
