No. Please send your mails to the list only. If you send me private mail again, I'll add you to my spam filter. > how I think, that Install file, which > everybody downloads in man directory of trunk should look like. It shouldn't be in the man/ subdir, but indeed adding an INSTALL file is not a bad idea. Thanks for the suggestion. > You downloaded trunk version of openchrome driver.

So after custom compilation of the DRM modules, a reboot is the simplest way to start using them.

Nor add anything to it. > in Section " Device" change your driver to "openchrome" Thanks, this was added to the Compiling+the+source+code wiki page, plus a link to a new page that contains your proposed verification commands plus a few others: http://wiki.openchrome.org/tikiwiki/tiki-index.php?page=Checking+whether+it+works > I think it is simple and every beginner knows, what to do with > your driver. > > I use Debian Lenny but many distributions use different kernels. > For example Ubuntu, Fedora.

The via.ko and drm.ko are kernel modules. But the openchrome driver is not a kernel module, it is an Xorg module. > and I can not install for every kernel extra. Is it so? The via and drm modules you can install separately for every kernel for which you have the source, and if under /lib/modules/ you have the appropriate versioned directories. (Please do not top-post. Interleave your answers and questions in the text you respond to. Snip the irrelevant parts.)
