I just went through this... do NOT use the pre-built files... unles
EVERYTHING in the kernel number matches EXACTLY, including ALL minor
revisions...  your X will NOT start up again if you do...

Yes, you MUST have the kernel header files (I just downloaded source to
get all that I needed) to compile... I found the .SRPM to work for me, I
couldn't get the tar.gz to work either, but I didn't try too long on it
to be honest.

it did fix a lot of performance inssues for me with the display...
whereas before trying to run tux was impoissible, 1 screen refresh every
5 to 10 seconds, now things are smooth...
