First let me start by saying this worked for me, however your mileage may vary. Also BACK UP YOUR SYSTEM BEFORE YOU TRY THIS, this is the result of about the thousandth time I have tried this, yet only the first successful attempt. My previous attempts have resulted in failures varying from destroying gnome to not being able to boot X, so you've been warned... this is not for the faint of heart.
Okay, if your still reading this I'll assume your extremely brave and made backups... (no if you haven't backed up your files, GO AND DO IT, or you could find yourself having to learn to burn CDs from the command line very quickly... this is the voice of experience speaking).
Here is the hardware (and software) that I'm using:
A HP Pavilion ze4220 Laptop
1.7ghz (iirc) Celeron
ATI IGP 340M 64mb onboard video
512mb of RAM
Fedora Core 2 Test 3
2.6.5-1.351 kernel
fully up2date (as of 5/6/04)
This should work with Fedora Core 1 with a 2.4 kernel also, but I'm not quite sure (if someone wants to try it out and let me know that would be great)
And now ladies and gentlemen the feature presentation:
I'll put all the commands to type in brackets ({}) with each command in in its own set of brackets
1.In your home folder make a directory called 3d:
{mkdir ~/3d}
2.Change to the directory you just made:
{cd ~/3d}
3.Get DRI, DRM, and Mesa from CVS (when asked for a password hit enter):
{cvs -z3 -d server:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri login}
{cvs -z3 -dserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri co xc}
{cvs -z3 -dserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa login}
{cvs -z3 -dserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/mesa co Mesa}
{cvs -z3 -dserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri login}
{cvs -z3 -dserver:anonymous@dri.freedesktop.org:/cvs/dri co drm}
This will create 3 new directories: dri, drm, and Mesa.
4.Configure DRI so that it knows where the DRI and Mesa directories are:
Edit xc/xc/config/cf/host.def with your favorite text editor mine is gedit so I ran
{gedit xc/xc/config/cf/host.def}
Now edit the lines that say
