What does the DRI have to do with that?  The files he listed were the
DDX (2d) driver files.  They include only a little code for the DRI,
which as far as I know shouldn't cause any problem with Alphas (The
piece of the DRI that's missing for them is the DRM).  Or is there
something else?

Also note that DRI support is not available for that chipset in XFree86
releases anyway.
