Hm, I've had it running on my Suse distribution with a 2.4.0-test8 kernel before I migrated to Debian. It took me about two weeks to get it running with Suse ... Thus, I've already had it the other way round than you seem to have it now: When I tried 2.4.0-test9 (on Suse), DRI didn't work with it because the modules in 2.4.0-test9 were version 2, while XFree expected 1.x :/ > I've just downloaded the > 2.4.0-test11 kernel source and (what I > think is) the latest DRI source > >from dri.sourceforge.net and > will have a go at getting them working. Well, I was hoping to discover an easy way to get it going this time, like just downloading some Debian package(s), install it/them, edit my XF86Config, maybe get and compile a new kernel --- and enjoy. But it doesn't seem to be that easy, still :/ It would be nice if you could let me know whether 2.4.0-test11 and the current XF86 sources fit together or not. I'm not exactly looking forward to having to download several megs of X11 sources, not to speak of a new kernel version again; but keeping up to date with the XFree development might be a good idea, anyway. The improvement in performance is really great in both 2D and 3D :), though the only reason I need 4.0.1 is that game, `Terminus'. Good luck with getting it working!
