Not sure of the details, but the 2.4.9-6 and 2.4.9-7 RPMs differ only in
the DRI config options - 2.4.9-6 is for RH7.1, 2.4.9-7 is for RH7.2. 
Try grabbing the apropriate one and see if that helps...

My thoughts on this are that any one who is going to use CVS snapshot
code in their kernel should be enough of a "power user" to compile it
themselves... I'm a bit wary of making it TOO easy for a novice to blow
up their system with untested code.  :)

If anyone else wants to make the snapshot RPMs, I'm not going to
complain, but I'm not going to offer them on oss.  :)

We do RPMs either for an upcoming release, or maybe for another pressing
need such as the recent security update.
