[Dri-users] failed to load kernel module "r128"; Where should DRM install modules?

SourceForge Headquarters 225 Broadway Suite 1600 San Diego, CA 92101 +1 (858) 454-5900

Hi,
I am having trouble getting r128.o to load. See log below.
What I would like to know is:

o Am I installing r128.o in the right place?
o Are the DRI guides wrong when they say that kernel modules should be 
installed to /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ ?
o Does the SuSE Makefile.modules have a bug because it installs to 
/lib/modules/$(UTS_RELEASE)/video?

DETAILS

I have downloaded the SuSE version of 4.0.3 as well as 
Xfree86km_drm-4.0.3-*.i386.rpm  and have followed the instructions in the 
readme ( ftp://ftp.suse.com/pub/suse/i386/X/XFree86/XFree86-4.0.3-SuSE/README 
) to compile the DRM kernel modules. 

I have also read http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/DRIuserguide.html and 
http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/DRIcompile.html
Both of these guides say that the kernel modules should be installed to:
/lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/char/drm/

But the SuSE Makefile.module uses a different directory:
#
# Makefile for compiling the accompanying kernel module for the kernel rpms
#

UTS_RELEASE=`grep UTS_RELEASE /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h|cut -d " 
" -f 3|sed s/\"//g`
KMODULES=gamma.o i810.o mga.o r128.o tdfx.o
#KMODULES+=sis.o

all:
	make -f Makefile.linux clean
	make TREE=/usr/src/linux/include -f Makefile.linux
install:
	mkdir -p /lib/modules/$(UTS_RELEASE)/video
	install -m 644 -o root -g root $(KMODULES) /lib/modules/$(UTS_RELEASE)/video
