Is this fbdev_drv.o file there? If not, you could try copying it from
the 4.1.0 tree you mv'd out of the way. If it is there, does it look
reasonable? Is the name fbdevHWGetLineLength defined in it? You could
try something like
nm /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/fbdev_drv.o | grep
fbdevHWGetLineLength
to see. Of course, the same applies to all the symbols and .o files
listed, but I'm sure that they all have the same problem, so fixing one
will fix them all.
I'm just guessing here, but here are a few possibilities:
1. Have you tried "cvs update"? Perhaps you just checked it out at a
bad time, and there was an inconsistency in the repository at that
moment, and it's been fixed by now.
2. There's some piece that doesn't get built by "make && make install"
that you need to find in the old 4.1.0 tree and copy back into the new
tree.
3. It's possible (I suppose) that somehow the build process is confused
by the existence of the old tree -- moving it isn't good enough, you
need to delete it completely. I seem to remember a warning like that in
the XFree86 build instructions long ago. Seems unlikely, though.
