I think it's probably much easier if done with the aid of the scripts. Since you already downloaded and compiled from CVS you just need to download dripkg.sh and install.sh scripts from http://dri.sourceforge.net/snapshots/scripts/ . Then all you have to do is ./dripkg.sh RADEON /path/to/cvs/xc/ /path/to/cvs/build/ 20021002-linux.i386 If didn't built on a seperate lndir'd 'build' directory just give the same path to the CVS. > >Can anyone put together a list of what libraries must be upgraded?

In the beggining of the snapshots prodcution it was decided to only include the device-dependent files (at least in theory, since there have been some unexpected exceptions).
