[Dri-devel] inter_module_*/fops_* -- DRI CVS trunk w/ Linux 2.2.18?

[Matthew C. <Mat...@mi...>]

Hi.

I updated from the DRI CVS trunk earlier, and built everything.  No
errors.  Then built the kernel modules, (cd ... ; make -f Makefile.linux,)
also without problem.

However, there are undefined symbols in tdfx.o (& gamma.o):
(Other modules not built, no AGP on this machine.)

depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in tdfx.o
depmod:         inter_module_register
depmod:         inter_module_put
depmod:         inter_module_get
depmod:         fops_put
depmod:         fops_get
depmod:         inter_module_unregister

Investigation reveals that this is due to my kernel (Linux 2.2.18) not
having the inter-module interface that appears to be in kernel 2.4.

So (asks the neophyte with the optimism of he who knows not whereof he
speaks,) how do I change drm_stubs.h to use the older kernel module
interface?  And do I need to change anything else?  Or do I just bite the
bullet and upgrade to kernel 2.4, like the DRI compilation guide implies I
should?  (Or does something belong in compat-pre24.h instead?)

If it matters:
	Intel Pentium 166 (not MMX) processor, 96MB RAM,
	PCI Guillemot Maxi Gamer Phoenix (Voodoo Banshee-based) w/ 16MB

Thanks,
Matt.
