Thank you very much. My strategy now will be: tar xzvf (xfree86 tarball) cd xc make World cd xc/programs/ ... /drivers/neomagic xmkmf ../../../../../.. programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/drivers/neomagic make includes make depend make make install
Am I on the right track now with this strategy ? Will the final `make install` put the new hacked up neomagic driver into my existing X installation (that I had even before I untarred the X source) or should I maybe copy it in by hand and skip the `make install` ? thanks a lot for your help.
