rawhide rpms usually work in stable fedoras. However, getting the graphics right is more that one package. For the whole stack, you'd need (I think): kernel (for newer drm modules/GEM) xorg-x11-server libdrm mesa-libGL (will pull in dri drivers) xorg-x11-drv-i810 As for a specific conflict with libdrm from source, you have /lib/libdrm.so* if you followed the intel instructions. That's not where fedora installs them. You might want to clean up what you can and then "yum reinstall libdrm libdrm-devel". You can probably run "make uninstall" from your libdrm source directory to clean up. -- Dan _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list xorg@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
