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.

Thanks,
