kernel config for 2.4.7-0.11.1 none

Description Chris Ricker 2001-08-09 19:48:22 UTC 
Trying to compile 0.11.1 with a custom config which enables MGA 400 DRI
support for both X 4.0.3 and 4.1, I get:

Comment 1 Arjan van de Ven 2001-08-09 19:53:33 UTC 
Ehm you can't have BOTH old and new DRM.... (yes I really really hate that part
of DRM)

But it seems there is another bug hiding as well; in -0.12.0 I changed DRM a lot
(basically I upgraded it to a new version and changed directories to match
Alan's and Linus' tree) and while I could spend time trying to fix -0.11.1 I'd
much prefer to see/know if -0.12 is also broken and then fix THAT.
Could you attach your .config ?
Comment 2 Glen Foster 2001-08-09 20:01:14 UTC 
This defect is considered MUST-FIX for Fairfax.
Comment 3 Chris Ricker 2001-08-09 20:22:23 UTC 
Created attachment 27153 [details]
kernel config for 2.4.7-0.11.1
Comment 4 Chris Ricker 2001-08-09 20:23:22 UTC 
Config attached, which works other than the dueling DRM issue.

If you put 0.12 some place I can get to it, I'll try it instead ;-)
Comment 5 Arjan van de Ven 2001-08-13 14:13:14 UTC 
should be fixed now in 2.4.7-0.14.0
