I'm using RH 7.2 which had 4.1.0 on it but to get the TV out of the ATI card I need 4.2.0 and updated drivers and updated drm ..... whew ! I installed the 4.2.0 from binaries on XFree86.org but I only installed the 12 'necessary' binaries. So I guess I've got to download the rest so that I get the source tree, is that right? Man it'll take forever with this 28.8k modem ! (no kidding)
