I should have been more clear. DRM version number refers to the version
number of the hardware-specific Savage DRM module.

This is all right. The version number 1.0.0 belongs to the
hardware-independent DRM core. This has nothing to do with the Savage
DRM version number. 2.1.0 is good. It means you got the latest source
that already has correct cliprect handling.
