So, we really want to get version 1.3 onto users machines. Am I correct
in saying that older versions still work, but would cause the driver to
fall back to rasterization only.
I've made the following mods to Alan's scripts to try and use old DRM
modules if a new one can't be compiled. I have put warnings in this
case to inform the user this may severly limit functionality or
performance and that it is recommended that they upgrade to the latest
DRM Kernel Module.
Alan, let me know if you see any problem with these changes to
install.sh
Regards,
Jens
