I'm guessing that 2.0.0 was chosen to cause that error and controray to what it
says, it means that the mach64.ko module is too new for your version of X.
I don't know what linux distribution you are using but it means that you need
to either compile xorg from source (svn or git, not sure what they are using
now) or see if your distribution has a newer version of X that is new enough
(I'm using debian and the version I'm using, not sure if it is unstable or
experimental works at the moment after months that it didn't).
