There's the DRI-CVS repository at sourceforge, and the bsd-2-0-0-branch is the CVS branch Eric's patches have been incorporated into. There's also the XFree86-CVS head branch (also hosted by sourceforge) which one of the XFree86 commiters has been commit'ing the bsd specific dri part to. If you can get the DRI-CVS stuff to compile and work it'd be good of you to see if the XFree86-CVS head branch also works for your card, since that codebase will be the basis for the 4.2.0 XFree86 release.
