Any progress on this ? How can we get that version ? kernel-source-2.4.27/drivers/char/drm/radeon.h has: #define DRIVER_NAME "radeon" #define DRIVER_DESC "ATI Radeon" #define DRIVER_DATE "20020828" #define DRIVER_MAJOR 1 #define DRIVER_MINOR 7 #define DRIVER_PATCHLEVEL 0 Would that do ? Something else ? Cheers, -- Bill. <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Imagine a large red swirl here. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
