ati mach64 dri not working after upgrade to etch
Hello all,
after upgrade from sarge to etch direct rendering for my ati rage mobility
mach64 card is not working anymore. I have self-compiled kernel 2.6.19.
I downloaded both :
common-20060403-linux.i386.tar.bz2
mach64-20060325-linux.i386.tar.bz2
but I am unable to install the second one, it aborts attempting to build
mach64 module for the kernel, saying that I need the latest kernel source
(!):
This version of the script supports 2.4.x and 2.6.x kernels.
Kernel Version : 2.6.19.1
Module Directory : /lib/modules/2.6.19.1
[...]
Compiling...
ERROR: Kernel modules did not compile
The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules.
Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on
what went wrong.
As a consequence of that, currently the only way for me to watch a video is to
use mplayer with "x11/xv" which is far from optimum (previously "vidix" was
working flawlessy).
Any help will be appreciated.
