Duh, that was a thinko, sorry. The DRI packages won't ship the fbdev driver.
I'm afraid you'll have to build yourself from CVS or alienate RPMs or whatever
until the 4.1.0

Now that I think about it again, maybe the problem is just that the L2

What version of gcc should I use to compile the kernel (from the BK tree).
Are there any known problems with 2.95.3? I'm compiling for an SMP machine.
