You need to build and load the appropriate DRM module for the version of XFree86 you're using. If you are running 4.1.0, and are using BenH's 2.4.x kernel tree, just use the DRM modules that are included. If you're using 4.2.0, you need to search the list for the site to grab just the DRM modules from (or get the whole 4.2.0 source tarballs and just build the DRM modules from them). I have a FireWire iBook using DRI - it works fine, long as I just use r128 by itself (you may have to enable AGP support as a module - don't load it, it'll make your iBook unstable if you load the UniNorth AGP support). > i guess what im really asking, is can i configure my system in such a way that > i get hardware accelleration, or do i need to join the device driver > development? im a college student with plenty of time and c experience ... but > ive never written a device driver. im up for learning though ... It does exist, you just have to load the right modules for it.
