Re: Rage Mobility DRI problem

[Benjamin Fritzsche <BFritzsche@gmx.de>]

The .config for the stock kernels are in /boot/config-xxxxxx and in that case 
you'll need the sources from the stock kernel. that means the 
kernel-imgage-2.4.18-bf2.4.deb or something similar, i don't know the exact 
name of the package.

but I'm not an expert here and maybe my guess is totally wrong. 
also try it with an uncleaned src directory as it might be looking for 
something other than only the .config.
