This is a repost... still looking for help... thanks!
I've been following the directions at http://www.x.org/wiki/Development/git.
I'm running Fedora 10 with an Intel GME965 chipset.
I was able to build the drm-intel-2.6.28-20090112.tar.bz2 kernel and boot from
it. Good.
Then I used the nice script at the end of the www.x.org page labelled "Quick
and easy way to install a development build". (Note: the git files were cloned
Jan 19) The script seemed to run normally (as root). Then I proceeded to the
instructions labelled "Running your new stack".
I booted the new kernel into run level 3. When I tried insmod'ing the new
modules, I couldn't find them. The only ones found are in the new kernel
directory, not /opt/gfx-test/ as I expected.
[r...@xyz]# find / -name drm.ko
/home/joe/build/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
[r...@xyz]# find / -name i915.ko
/home/joe/build/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.9-159.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.27.5-117.fc10.i686/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
/lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
I inserted the modules in the 2.6.28 kernel directory, and received the
following:
[r...@xyz]# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/drm.ko
[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
[r...@xyz]# insmod /lib/modules/2.6.28/kernel/drivers/gpu/drm/i915/i915.ko
pci 0000:00:02.0: PCI INT A -> GSI 16 (level, low) -> IRQ 16
[drm] Initialized i915 1.6.0 20080730 on minor 0
Notice the version numbers and dates are not recent. I tried starting X
anyway, but the keyboard and mouse where unresponsive.
Any ideas why I can't find the new .ko files to use for insmod? Are the
instructions out of date?
Thanks a lot for any suggestions.
