In order to get applications like mplayer to work properly, I need to
compile an ATI Radeon 4200 driver from x.org.  (Thanks to brynet for that
tip.)  That used to work fine, but around mid-May it stopped compiling
(details below).  The configure script output has this slight difference:

$ diff configure.ok configure.failure
88c88
<  checking for LIBDRM_RADEON... no
---
checking for LIBDRM_RADEON... yes
132c132
<          Kernel modesetting:  no
---
         Kernel modesetting:  yes

I think you need to pass "--disable-kms" to ./configure

ciao,
david


This is what I use

sh ./configure --prefix=/usr/X11R6 \
    --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --mandir=/usr/X11R6/man \
    --with-xorg-module-dir=/usr/X11R6/lib/modules \
    --disable-kms
make
sudo make install

Works with 6.14.2....
