Zero. > after more googling around without any hints (i only saw some forums of people with mesa 7.3 installed when using proprietary ati/nvidia drivers and all of them with references to the rpm-fusion repository) i've decided that it's faster to add the git version of mesa to the script. now the script fetches/updates mesa, libdrm, radeonhd. you might experience troubles if you have some packages not installed. i'm on full git with all x11 packages on my gentoo box and don't know what fedora has installed. the thing that i find strange is that fedora or external repos don't provide mesa 7.3 packages.

Getting old it turns out, is not for sissies. > well, i forgot to export the GIT_DIR so that the git config would find it.... sorry. now it's fixed and i've added also the mesa git version. this would take some time to build up also because it builds up quite some stuff. you could add a ./configure for mesa before the make line so that it would configure it with what you really need (it doesn't build with xcb support which is a must if you want to use kde4). i haven't added the configure option since i don't know if your libX11 is build with xcb support. uncomment the ./configure line in the script if you're actually using kde4, since your libX11 should in that case be built with xcb support. -- dott. ing. beso _______________________________________________ xorg mailing list [email protected] http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/xorg
