[Mesa3d-users] ATI mach64 - etchnhalf kernel 2.6.24 - Xorg 7.1.1 - Enable DRI?

[Chris J. <cjn...@gm...>]

I downloaded the latest tarballs from dri.freedesktop.org:

  common-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2
  mach64-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2

I ran the install.sh script in common and that went smoothly after I
changed the directories to what they appear to be on this debian etch
system.

I proceeded to do the same in the mach64 tree.

I was asked whether I wanted to create a directory for dri and agreed.

The compile of the module failed immediately and the dri.log file told
me that it could not find the kernel .config file for my kernel, which
makes perfect sense since the etchnhalf kernel was installed as a binary
from the etch repos.

The next step would be to apt-get the source & headers for the above
kernel, but before I do this, I would like to know if the tarballs I
downloaded are really the latest and whether anyone has gotten this to
work with recent kernels - such as 2.6.24.

I have run an "install.sh restore" in the common tree and as per the
messages echoed to the terminal, I should be back to where I started.

Thanks,

CJ
