Tom, my understanding for RH7.2 systems is that you need to do what you mention above in order to get the XF86-4.2, which has the complete DRI infrastructure including loadable modules for 3D acceleration, you have to: 1. follow the procedure outlined above in order to construct the DRM-enabled XF86 2. have an actual Kernel which is expecting to interact with a DRM-enabled XF86. So you will have to do both those things. As you have a RH7.2 system and updating it is as easy as: rpm -Uvh nameof.rpm and RH provides rpms of the latest kernel and latest XF86 in the rawhide directories you may find it easiest to just go the RPM route?
