Good news, I believe I see my problem and perhaps another. I was entering "--with-nouveau-experimental-api" not "--enable-nouveau-experimental-api." It works using --enable. However, the 12/20/11 documentation indicates "--with." --with-nouveau-experimental-api: This parameter enables use of nouveau's experimental kernel API (required for ATI r300 and r660 cards). I was using the example in the documentation and spacing the "with vs enable" part. One reason is the following command uses enable so I thought "--with" was specific to nouveau as "--enable" is given for the other experimental parameter. --with-nouveau-experimental-api: This parameter enables use of nouveau's experimental kernel API (required for ATI r300 and r660 cards). --enable-vmwgfx-experimental-api: This parameter enables use of vmwgfx's experimental kernel api. Should the documentation be changed? And on another front, should both commands be standard in the ./configure command? I'm by no means an expert on this so both questions are just that, questions. -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-support FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
