OK, please explain how I install the latest Unichrome DRI driver. The docs at the unichrome site are correct except they refer to this guide which is out of date: http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Building How do you expect users to 'just grab the new release' if *your own user documentation* is incorrect (from the above page): NOTE that these instructions may be out of date. According to http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/message.php?msg_id=9295537 parts of DRI have moved to a new repository. "Mesa and DRM are still in the same repositories on freedesktop.org. But the DRI enabled DDX drivers are now developped in Xorg CVS instead of DRI CVS. See http://xorg.freedesktop.org for details." Wow, thanks, that explains everything! This should not be hard. I have built and installed Xorg from CVS. I know what I am doing. What the heck is a non-coder supposed to do? All I need is to figure out how to build unichrome_dri.so. There seems to be a unichrome directory in the Xorg, Mesa, and DRI CVS trees. I should just be able to cd to this directory and type make or make unichrome_dri.so or something, just like I do to install the via DRI kernel module, or ALSA modules, or any other kernel module with a reasonable build process. Does not work. If someone tells me how to do this I promise to post a HOWTO.
