-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 SuSE have an RPM at ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.1.0-SuSE/suse71/DRI/km_drm-4.1.0-6.i386.rpm which has the sources for the kernel modules in it. I am at work ATM so I cannot be sure if it will compile and install them itself from it's post-install script (which would be rather cool), or if it (more likely) just shoves them on your hard drive and leaves you to it. It puts the sources in /usr/src/kernel-modules/drm/, according to rpm -qpl, so it should be safe for debian/slackware people to alien. Those with RPM based systems should have no problem. I would not recommend installing SuSEs binary packages on a redhat or mandrake system. or vice versa, especially for such a core component as X, but there is little to go wrong here. I hope this is of use to all those who have asked about it in the recent past, but please, please, try and use a mirror where possible.

I have finally been successful at getting X 4.1.0 and DRI working on my ATI rage Mobilty 128 M3. It would appear that the current ATI DRM module being distributed in 2.4.5-ac13+ (or maybe even older) is not working as well as it should for 2D drawing (classic flash problems). I rebuilt my X11 from source and replaced the kernel driver with the one from DRI CVS (xc/xc/programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel/) and both 2D and 3D work very well. Jordan |

Actually, you were lucky it worked at all before. The r128 kernel module in the current Linux kernels turned out to be incompatible with 4.1.0, most people who try to use them just see a solid color in the window where the rendered scene should be. -- Earthling Michel Dänzer (MrCooper) \ Debian GNU/Linux (powerpc) developer CS student, Free Software enthusiast \ XFree86 and DRI project member |
