Source code of FBDev for XGI Volari V5, V8 and V3XT
This isn't how you submit kernel patches. Please read Documentation/SubmittingPatches and http://www.zip.com.au/~akpm/linux/patches/stuff/tpp.txt Then send the driver as a unified diff against the most recent kernel to Marcelo and to linux-fsdevel@vger.kernel.org And follow the same procedure if you have a driver for the 2.6 kernel (you should - not much 2.4 development is happening now) Since this really isn't a bug, can I reject it (and the partner one for 2.6)? |
Installation =========================================== make sure to boot the kernel version you want to install DRI with and the kernel source code is installed in /usr/src/linux-2.4.x/ if the kernel source is not built before, make sure to run 'make mrproper' & 'make menucofing' (save default setting) & "make dep' in kernel directory Also make sure kernel config is the same as the version currently running. **If you have install XGI package before, you better uninstall it NOW. **(see sec. 7 Uninstall) After Kernel Source is Ready and you login as root , then 'cd XGIPKG' 'sh install.sh' it will compile needed kernel modules and copy modules to Systems Directories. Detail in install.sh: 1.recompile xgifb.o in XGIPKG/FB/ compile log in compile.log 2.recompile xgi.o in XGIPKG/drm/ compile log in compile.log 3.copy xgifb.o to /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/video/xgi/ (create directory if not exist) copy xgi.o to /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ 4.copy xgi_drv.o to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/ copy xgi_dri.so to /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/dri/ copy libGL.so.1.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/ (backup original libGL.so.1.2 to libGL.so.1.2.xgi.old) link libGL.so and libGL.so.1 to libGL.so.1.2 (ln -s) 5.modify rc.modules (backup original to rc.modules.xgi.old) which is under /etc in Red Hat distribution under /etc/rc.d in Mandrake distribution insmod /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/video/xgi/xgifb.o [mode=wxhxd] [rate=r] (ex. mode = 1024x768x16 rate=85) insmod /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/char/agp/agpgart.o insmod /lib/modules/2.4.x/kernel/drivers/char/drm/xgi.o if you don't want to modify rc.modules, you can run insmod by yourself **if you don't want any specific step, just remove it from install.sh
