I am not at home right now but I believe my kernel was compiled for a 386. I changed it to a Celeron (Coppermine) , recompiled and according the the log for X it seems that DRI is now working.
angus proc # cat config | grep CMPX CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y if CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=n then I think i would have a problem. CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG is set to N if you select a 386 and Y if you select any thing else. But maybe I am wrong I will only know for sure when I get home.
