It's better to just build the required kernel modules. Rebuilding the Linux kernel as a whole is unnecessary, even undesirable.
- Make sure that you have configured kernel sources installed. - Checkout DRI. - Goto "drm/linux-core". - Type "make "DRM_MODULES="drm.ko ati.ko"" or equivalent according to your chipset. The "LINUXDIR=" option allows to specify a custom kernel source path if necessary. - Make sure to load the resulting kernel modules at an early moment of the system boot-up. I'm used to loading the modules via "insmod" in "/etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit". This even works when the kernel module is already present but you want to use a newer version. That's all and works as expected. -Joachim ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.net email is sponsored by: Splunk Inc. Do you grep through log files for problems? Stop!
