Hi, 
I would like understand this new concept of drm and libdrm . 
 
So we can't compile i915.ko anymore outside of kernel ? . 
When we use libdrm-2.4.3 , have we a minimum kernel required ? 

If libdrm is (or at least should be) safe to upgrade. 
I understand that should be safe if libdrm is newer than drm kernel
modules. 

On Fedora 10, libdrm.spec clean up header files from libdrm package
(rm -f $RPM_BUILD_ROOT/usr/include/drm/$1)
and use libdrm headers from kernel headers.
rpm -qf /usr/include/drm/*
kernel-headers-2.6.27.9-163.sb1.fc10.i386

Which: 
1 - kernel it self already produces liddrm headers. 
2 - headers aren't from the fresh libdrm.
3 - So, (again) my problem is: libdrm and drm could not match, they are
build from different sources. And this could be bad, like now when we
have change of symbols.

So after thinking and thinking. I have a suggestion, if libdrm also came
with source kernel ? 

Thanks in advance ,
and btw merry Christmas.
