Cheers all, This is good; after what seemed like forever and then some, X finished compiling; quite a lot less painful than I had expected, given all the slanderous fortune cookies out there. It works, now I have xv working, at least. Still no 3d accel (1fps on all gl things). Hmm... might this have something to do with make installing over an existing version? I suppose dri-mesa got compiled and installed with all the rest, so I don't see how there should be a problem. So what am I doing wrong? Why isn't 3d accel working? If installing over an old install _is_ the problem, how do I go about making sure no conflicting files are on my computer before re-installing? I mean, there is a huge amount of files, and not all of the /usr/X11R6/* belong to XF86 (some are clients etc..?)

I've got a Radeon 8500 QL (128MB) and I've been using the drivers in CVS for quite some time (2+ months). They're really solid. Far as I've tested, everything works. You'll need to rebuild from sources, no binaries are available. Here's my cvs login script - - atrens@hcarp00g: ~/dri5 -- (14:37:35) $ cat login cvs -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/dri login (just hit ENTER when prompted for password) And my checkout script - -- atrens@hcarp00g: ~/dri5 -- (14:38:09) $ cat co cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/dri co -r r200-stable-1-0-branch xc And my update script - -- atrens@hcarp00g: ~/dri5 -- (14:39:07) $ cat update cvs -z3 -d:pserver:[EMAIL PROTECTED]:/cvsroot/dri update -r r200-stable-1-0-branch xc/xc Once you've checked out the source ... $ cd xc/xc $ make World $ make install (need to be root for this) then - $ cd programs/Xserver/hw/xfree86/os-support/linux/drm/kernel $ make -f Makefile.linux && make -f Makefile.linux install (again as root) I don't run Linux (I'm a FreeBSD hacker) but I suspect this part will work Next you'll need to arrange for the radeon kernel module to be loaded (not sure what you'll need to configure here, again I don't run linux), and then reboot. Hope this helps - the cvs code has been rock-solid for me :) :) :) Andrew.
