sounds like you are using the wrong version of the drm module

How did you load the drm module and from where? AFAIK debian comes with drm 
compiled but I'm not sure if compiled in or as a module. Have a look in 
/lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/
and see if there is a drm module there (drm.ko) and do lsmod and see if drm 
appears. If it appears as a module, try putting that drm.ko that you compiled 
in /lib/modules/2.6.18-4-686/kernel/drivers/char/drm/, run update-modules and 
then you need to either exit X, unload drm (which would be the old version) 
and reload it (the new version) and then restart X, or just restart the 
system so that it can do it for you.

Also look in the file /boot/config-2.6.18-4-686 or something similar, and look 
for the name CONFIG_DRM it should read CONFIG_DRM=m or CONFIG_DRM=n
