You shouldn't need any patches to X at this point for DRI compiling. 
You probably don't want to use the modules that come with X because the
drm-kmod ones should work better.  I would normally say "check out CVS
and see if that changes anything", but I don't think anything has
changed for the r128 in CVS.

Yeah, usually an XFree86.0.log is good for X questions, but as
-questions is a very general list it's probably a good idea to put it
somewhere else if possible.

I don't know what you should do at this point.  If you were to compile,
XFree86-4-Server is all you need to do because it is the only one that
does DRI and 2d driver stuff.  The only possible change I would make
would be dropping the CPUTYPE because I'm wary of extra optimizations in
gcc (and considering that you seem to be the only one so far seeing
this).
