Hello... Just a quick question...
Does anyone know why there ins't a G400 option in the DRI kernel stuff? I wasn't able to successfully to get a G400 DRI module out of the X source after several hours of recompiling and I can't understand why the G400 kernel module isn't in the official kernel tree when the 3dfx module, etc already is. Is it right to expect a user to have a copy of the X source laying around to get DRI kernel modules? or perhaps I'm misunderstanding their purpose?
Thanks for your time...
