I'm not familiar with vector linux, but if they don't supply the updated dri modules you need you'll probably have to build them from source. You'll have to build a kernel to do this but you should probably do that anyway;) You can find plenty of usefull information about DRI at http://dri.sourceforge.net/ and can find build instructions for the modules at http://dri.sourceforge.net/doc/DRIcompile.html _______________________________________________ XFree86 mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://XFree86.Org/mailman/listinfo/xfree86
