those close source drivers worth the trouble ? On 6/19/07, Steve Jones <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote:

Here is a script and patch that I use for a manual install of the ati closed source X drivers. Please note that I use CLFS x86_64 multi-lib, xorg 7.1 installed under /usr. If you have a pure LFS 32 bit system you will need to adjust just about all of the source and destination targets, and DO NOT use the patch. While this was tested using version 8.36.5 from ati, nothing in the package layout has really changed between it and the current version. Also if you are using the current rc kernel then there is a module build error ( with 64bit that I know of ) that is fixed by simply commenting out the offending include statement. -- Steve Jones [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
