I went throught the following drill last week and was successful. Get
http://azz.us-lot.org/kernel-drm-4.1.0.tar.gz and compile using:
make linux (or something like that)
The resulting .o files replace those in
/lib/modules/2.4.5-3mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm.
Note the i810 module does not get created. You might wish to backup the
existing
drm files. Copy over the new ones and gzip them.
For a little extra humpf for the G400, add "Option" "2" to
/etc/X11/XF86Config-4.
And it wouldn't hurt to replace DefaultColorDepth with DefaultDepth.
Reboot and
you should be in business.
