hey - fantastic.
i wanted to talk to you and i just got this email :)
 
the cpu detection should be in the kinfo file.
i did a
`uname -????'
.
 
the file i attached just holds the makefile.alpha.
the correct CFLAGS are there.
(after changing my linux dist i must have removed the
stuff and this is just to get it running).
but i will work on a kinfo way!
 
kind regards, niki
 
BTW: pls just send me plain text mails if possible - thanks a lot - niki
(better for the mailinglist!)

I was wondering how you were do the new CPU detection, though I guess I can
look at your source when you send it.  I have recently updated the
Device3Dfx package, have you seen the 2.3-3 and 2.3-4 releases.  They create
a small program called kinfo that can return information about the currently
installed kernel.  This was necessary because the old package was reading
the kernel headers directly which was breaking with Red Hat's new kernel
header layout.  I would think that CPU detection could be done in a similar
way, perhaps added to kinfo.
