It's not just one kernel module...

You need:

- X.org CVS

- Mesa CVS

- DRM CVS

Build X.org, Mesa and the r300 Mesa driver, install all of it.

Build drm.ko and radeon.ko, install it into the kernel module
directory.

Further instructions are in the READMEs for the r300 driver in the DRM
source.
