Ah... sorry for the lack of details.

First, you need to have the appropriate package.  Don't know if your
system is i386 or x86_64, but here are links to both (i386 first,
x86_64 second):

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/libdrm/2.4.0/0.21.fc10/i386/libdrm-2.4.0-0.21.fc10.i386.rpm

http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/libdrm/2.4.0/0.21.fc10/x86_64/libdrm-2.4.0-0.21.fc10.x86_64.rpm

You can download it if you don't have it already on your system by
using the "wget" command from text mode.

For example, if you system is x86_64, you would use

wget
http://koji.fedoraproject.org/packages/libdrm/2.4.0/0.21.fc10/x86_64/libdrm-2.4.0-0.21.fc10.x86_64.rpm

Once the package is downloaded, you revert by running "rpm -Uvh
- --oldpackage".  For example, if you are running x86_64, the command
would be:

rpm -Uvh --oldpackage libdrm-2.4.0-0.21.fc10.x86_64.rpm

Hope this helps.....
