X not starting, DRM i810 X Drivers, Kernel 2.6.7
 

Hi there

I'm running Fedora core 1 and I decided to update my kernel to 2.6.7, after a couple of small hassels I got it up and running. The I notcied hardware GL was not working, when it was running fine on my 2.4.x kernel (I could run quake 3 fine). I downloaded the drivers, compiled them and then restarted X.

This is the error I got.

(II) LoadModule: "i810"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/i810_drv.o

First of all, I'm not sure why it's trying to load it twice. I'm thinking the drivers/modules are not being loaded properly or something. This is what I tried after wards. I ran the ./install.sh script in console mode (X not running).

Installing files:
DRI XFree86 modules...done
kernel modules...done
GL & GLU libraries...done
core libraries...done
Copying extra files...done

Updating configuration:
Running ldconfig... Removing old kernel module "i810"...ERROR
Inserting new kernel module "i810"...done

There were errors updating the system configuration.
See the dri.log file for more information.

Checking configuration...
second copy of DRI libraries found in /usr/X11R6/lib/tls/
libraries have been backed up to dri-old.* in /usr/X11R6/lib/tls/

done


Anyone had these sort of errors and any idea what to do ?

Thanks
