I may be off on the dependencies (only the Linux kernel headers, GCC & make stuffs, and git, I believe), but you should be able to get by in Feisty and Hardy with minimal building from sources. From what I can tell nothing needs to be compiled except mach64.ko, and drm.ko needs a recompilation.
The instructions are fairly straight-forward (assuming you've already apt-get'd the aforementioned stuffs): (terminal) git clone git://anongit.freedesktop.org/git/mesa/drm cd drm/linux-core make mach64.o (that's not a typo, and this builds drm.ko & mach64.ko) sudo cp *.ko /lib/modules/<kernel version>/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ sudo depmod -n (reboot and glxinfo | grep "direct") Oh yeah, and make sure your default bit depth is right ahead of time. [EMAIL PROTECTED] is the best you can hope for with 8MB. I don't think you can do much of anything with 4MB. When the kernel is officially updated, a simple depmod will not suffice. You will need to recompile the mach64.ko module. It doesn't take long. May as well update the sources, anyhow. Can someone confirm these instructions from a fresh(er) install, and, more specifically, post a definitive list for apt-get prior to building? -Philip On Mon, Mar 10, 2008 at 6:01 PM, Roland Arendes <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I second that.
