Oh. Ok. I had the idea that GATOS supplied it's own DRM, I've cheked and it does indeed, so you must have been using the DRM from DRI CVS.

In case you've missed it, here are the relevant links: http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=716945&forum_id=7177 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=717676&forum_id=7177 http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=718507&forum_id=7177 and Keith has been working on this. BTW: The current CVS still has some problems on 2.4.18 because today a bug related to it in i810 was filled ( http://sourceforge.net/tracker/?func=detail&atid=100387&aid=559740&group_id=387 ).
