I was just wondering if the following will work. I retreived the patch (XFree86-4.2.0-ati-radeon-pci-drm-enable.patch) from your ftp server and applied it to my XFree 4.2.0 build tree and recompiled. I was thinking than that I'd replace the following files with the new versions in the build tree as shown below : Replaced /lib/modules/2.4.19-gentoo-r5/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o with /xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/radeon.o Replaced /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so with /xc/exports/lib/modules/dri/radeon_dri.so Replaced /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o with /xc/exports/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o After looking at the patches and reading some background on DRI and XFree design this seemed viable. I as also wondering how bad the reports where on the patch? Did it periodically fail or it just plain wouldn't start? _______________________________________________ Xpert mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xpert
