This is a first for tdfx.o not loading with XFree 4.01.
All prior kernel build through test13-pre5 would load just fine...
Strange...

Very strange - others on this list, self included,
have reported something a bit different:
tdfx.o has not loaded in any kernel since -test12.
The makefile changes have broken it.
Are you certain tdfx.o loads for you in prior -test13
versions? If so, that would be a most disturbing
development...

hehe, my guess is the chief kernel honchos don't play much q3a....
Hopefully fixing the makefile problem is on their todo list -

It haven't loaded since test13-pre1 for me.
Only the 'module version' was broken.
Last test12-pre7 was fine, here.
It was introduced with the Makefile cleanups.

I think this patch is very fine.
It works here without a hitch.

I am involved a little bit into the DRI development and I think it is because
all the DRI guys (VA Linux) especially Rik Faith are out for vacation...:-)
Happy New Year!
