Re: No drm for X with 2.4.18 kernel
What kind of hardware? Which video card? How is it set up in
XF86Config?
If you are using the Sun Frame Buffer and one of their low end cards,
there isn't support for drm and you should comment the line that loads
it out of your XF86Config file. I think the Creator 3d and some of the
ATI cards have drm support that works with Sparc/Linux, but I am not
sure which ones. If X is working fine without drm, then don't worry
about it.
