Hello everyone !

I've met a few problems concerning kernel-xfs, bit I suppose you may
encounter these ones with another version.
First of all, drm/dri couple is out of date. I think we should
automagically "patch" the source kernel with the file named
linux-drm-4.2.0-kernelsource.tar.gz found on http://dri.sourceforge.net
as far as I can remember. Files contained into the archive must be copied
to /usr/src/linux/drivers/char/drm/ (or drm-4.0/ can't remember).
The second thing is i2c and lm_sensors problem. They aren't cast again
so it doesn't work anymore. Moreover, a cast linux-xfs produces at the end
:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in
/lib/modules/2.4.18-xfs-1.1/misc/i2c-philips-par.o
I may have made a mistake but the only to get cast linux-xfs running ok is
to rm this file, cast linux-xfs ; cast i2c ; cast lm_sensors
i've put into /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh to get sensors to run with a via686:
# I2C adapter drivers
modprobe i2c-isa
# I2C chip drivers
modprobe lm75
modprobe eeprom
modprobe via686a
sensors -s

and don't forget to add in /etc/X11/XF86Config :
# This loads the GLX module
Load "glx"
# This loads the DRI module
Load "dri"
EndSection
Section "DRI"
Group "video"
Mode 0660
EndSection

Don't also forget to add yourself in video group.

About kernel config here is a sample of mine which works ok:

<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
[ ] Intel 440LX/BX/GX and I815/I830M/I840/I850 support
[ ] Intel I810/I815/I830M (on-board) support

[ ] AMD Irongate, 761, and 762 support
[ ] Generic SiS support
[ ] ALI chipset support
[ ] Serverworks LE/HE support
[*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 DRI support)
[ ] Build drivers for old (XFree 4.0) DRM
--- DRM 4.1 drivers
[*] Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support)
< > 3dfx Banshee/Voodoo3+

<M> ATI Rage 128
< > ATI Radeon
< > Intel I810
< > Intel 830M (NEW)
< > Matrox g200/g400

That's all for now. Keep up the good work. I hope i've been clear.
Of course if you've got any question or comment don't hesitate to
mail me.
Best regards,
laurent.
