As referenced in bug 7712, the Intel DRM module did not compile. This was fixed on 12/09/02 and I can now compile the DRM module without problems. dmesg shows that the DRM kernel component is loaded : [drm] AGP 0.99 on Intel i810 @ 0xd0000000 64MB [drm] Initialized i810 1.1.0 20010616 on minor 0 however, the X log file shows that DRI is disabled : (II) I810(0): [drm] created "i810" driver at busid "PCI:0:1:0" (II) I810(0): [drm] added 8192 byte SAREA at 0xc88d4000 (II) I810(0): [drm] mapped SAREA 0xc88d4000 to 0x40017000 (II) I810(0): [drm] framebuffer handle = 0xd0000000 (II) I810(0): [drm] added 1 reserved context for kernel (EE) I810(0): [dri] I810DRIScreenInit failed because of a version mismatch.

did you select the DRM-4.0 compatibility mode thingus in the kernel configuration? (I know nothing about this module really)
Just tried with DRM 4.0 compatibility mode ... same result, DRI disbled. Did some googling around, these links seem promising. They're about this problem and a possible solution seems to be recompiling the DRM modules with Alan Hourihane's patches available here : http://www.xfree86.org/~alanh/ Unfortunately, I'm out of my depth here. These links seem helpful : http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/blfs-support/2002/01/1234.html http://archive.linuxfromscratch.org/mail-archives/blfs-support/2002/01/1233.html Please note that with many kernels, including the lolo-sources one, it seems fine. I don't want to use the lolo-sources kernel because I'm having some intermittent problems with heavy load and lots of hard disk thrashing when it does something other than display *simple* webpages. Bug for that will be filed, am gathering info on it. aniruddha shankar bangalore, India
I believe this is fixed in lolo-sources-2.4.20.1_rc3 please double check that and let me know.
db fix
works
