This should be the right location for your new r128.o file. Did you do depmod -a after copying? Any messages coming out of that? Another suggestion: Perhaps the Redhat kernel 2.4.9-31 is too "old" or badly configured. I'm not running a Redhat kernel any longer on RH 7.1, so I don't know the default settings for 2.4.9-31. I'm using a pristine kernel 2.4.18 and have compiled it with the following settings for drm (you'd surely have to enable other or all kinds of chipsets, mine is a VIA): [snip] CONFIG_AGP=m # CONFIG_AGP_INTEL is not set # CONFIG_AGP_I810 is not set CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y # CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set # CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set # CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set # CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set CONFIG_DRM=y # CONFIG_DRM_OLD is not set # # DRM 4.1 drivers # CONFIG_DRM_NEW=y CONFIG_DRM=y # CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set # CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA is not set CONFIG_DRM_R128=m # CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set # CONFIG_DRM_I810 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_I830 is not set # CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set # CONFIG_MWAVE is not set [snip] The crucial point is to disable support for the "old" DRM drivers. Now XFree86 4.2.0 is nicely running with direct rendering enabled. Klaus ___ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert

[Xpert]kernel module version incorrect
Hello, My log file indicates a version mis-match with the r128.o kernel module. It claims I need version 2.2 or greater but /lib/modules/2.4.9-31/kernel/drivers/char/drm/r128.o is version is 2.1.6. Here's my question. Where can I get the appropriate r128.o version or the source to build it? My log file says: (II) R128(0): [drm] loaded kernel module for "r128" driver (II) R128(0): [drm] created "r128" driver at busid "PCI:1:0:0" (II) R128(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xd8898000 (II) R128(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xd8898000 to 0x40018000 (II) R128(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xd400 (II) R128(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (EE) R128(0): [dri] R128DRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch.
