thanks mike! i've now got past this and have compared the gatos 4.1.0 source with current cvs source. it appears that most of the functionality in their patches has been moved to XFree86 HEAD.
while using HEAD, r128 drm gives these errors: (II) R128(2): Direct rendering disabled Symbol drmFreeBufs from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol drmR128TextureBlit from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! Symbol drmFreeBufs from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unresolved! i do get a display now, but i'm examining every possibility while i try to get the tv tuner working [still not 8-(]. r128 has been modprobed, as well as mga and agpgart [for the g450 primary card]. thanks! joe Mike A.
