I am guessing I did something stupid. I finally have a good kernel built that is working nicely. I used 2.4.23. I pulled the CVS source again and then downlaoded the above source tarball and put it in /development/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers since this is what the tar directory structure looked like to me (and untarred it). I then went to /development/xc/xc and did a 'make World' which went on and on and when I was through I had a new XFree86 executable and savage_drm.o savage_dri.o and some others. I then did 'make install' which copied savage_drv.o to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers. I also copied savage_drm.o to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri since I saw the other *_dri.o files there. I stopped X and restarted it and checked XFree.log and it showed my new driver loaded, but still Direct Rendering:No. I confirmed this by running glxinfo and it said the same thing. As I searched the archives to the list, I saw someone had similar experience trying to compile for the ProSavageDDR and Alex said the savage kernel module had to be compiled separate. So I went to /development/xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel and typed 'make Makefile.linux' but got the message back 'Nothing to be done for `Makefile.linux'.'. So, did I unpack the tar package in the wrong place or am I still missing something? How close am I? -- George Lengel (Worm) "Kohli head.
