AT less you will have to download and recompile correct DRM modules. Slackware 9.0 (now rc2) has Xfree86 4.3 compiled with glibc 2.3.1, and kernel 2.4.20 with some patches. This slackware ships also the correct DRM modules to work correctly on XFree86 4.3. That just to clarify esplicitally this question Bests Luigi On Thu, 13 Mar 2003, Tomas Szepe wrote: > Date: Thu, 13 Mar 2003 16:05:44 +0100 > From: Tomas Szepe > To: Alan Cox > Cc: James Stevenson , pd dd , > M.
