Riiiight... that's what I get for staying up so late ;)

It was against a checkout of drm-kernel, and then manually copy the .c
and .h files into the 2.6.2 tree.

from freedesktop.org? not from sourceforge anymore?

The one that ships with the kernel won't fly due to version number - if
memory serves it did before installing ati.2, but seeing how the machine
(with its AIW Radeon) serves as my living room entertainment center,
having A/V capability trumped 3D. 

ati.2 CVSROOT:

It's beginning to look like my entire problem might be having missed a
move of the CVS source hosting. Let me see what turns up... if that is
the case, I'd suggest modifying the Makefiles on the sf.net copy to
cause an error message if anyone tries compiling them.

While we're on the subject, what's the status of integration with the
XFree 4.4 betas? Would I be better off going that way?

OK, I just checked out the new xc tree... seems to be some confusion
going on between it and the documentation about having the Mesa tree.
Hrm?
