I don't have a Trident card. I am simply pointing out that I cannot get DRI to compile. This has been tested on several systems, as the tdfx, r128, and i810 dri drivers aren't compatible with the 2.4.19 driver, as far as I can tell. The tested matrox, nvidia, and radeon drivers were fine.
Here's example output: ... (==) Using config file: "/etc/X11/XF86Config-4" (EE) R128(0): [dri] R128DRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch. [dri] r128.o kernel module version is 2.1.6 but version 2.2 or greater is needed. [dri] Disabling the DRI. (EE) R128(0): [drm] failed to remove DRM signal handler DRIUnlock called when not locked ... Am I misinterpreting this? The other problem with this DRM code is the Makefile. The way it tests the kernel version does not work universally. For example, my kernel is 2.4.19-x1. It got that from uname and then it did a comparison with gcc output where the version was just the numeric 2.4.19. Although this may seem like an isolated issue, I can see it applying like this in the case of say 2.4.19smp.
