Please read this README in its entirety. This is not meant to be all inclusive. The intent is to provide general guidance only. Notes: - This is the CVS snapshot May 20 2001 05:30GMT as acquired from cvs.dri.sourceforge.net - Complete documentation for this release of X11 can be obtained from http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc.phtml - For information about ATI.2, refer to http://www.linuxvideo.org/gatos - These binaries are distributed unmodified from the original source. - No tricks where implemented to *force* compilation. - For a list of strappings, refer to /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/config/host.def - This release of X11 is intended to uncompress and overwrite the current installation *** make backups *** - This distribution was tested on my box for no less than 8 hours before release. For the paranoid, I have supplied md5sums for download integrity verification.

All files (except kernel DRM) are decompressed in /usr ie: # cd /usr 1 (b). Acquire the desired replacement tarball and place it in /usr 2. As root (or any user with install privileges) # tar -zxf _Package_Name__.tar.gz 3. The DRM kernel mods will deflate into _KernelDir__//kernel/drivers/char/drm *** it is not recommended to put GATOS-DRM-X4.0.99.3.tar.gz in /usr *** for this tarball to decompress correctly put it in /lib/modules/2.4.3 *** If you are not using kernel 2.4.3 , these mods will likely not work and you should use the mods that came with your kernel 4. It is highly recommended that the ati.2 drivers be decompressed last as GATOS-DRI-X4.0.99.3-lib-d.tar.gz contains stock drivers for vga, tdfx, i810, mga, ati, and glint 5. If there are specific problems related directly to these binaries, do not flame the developers. Problems for which I may likely be held directly liable: - tarball will not decompress - tarball does not decompress into ./X11R6 - decompression fails with invalid data errors - tarball caused my coffee maker to stop working The above list does not imply liablilty, only suggests items for which I will likely be blamed. 6. Send tarball flames to: deek@tech-center.com 7. If you are not having fun, you are doing it wrong.
