I downloaded xfree 4.1 from the above site using apt-get. I have enabled
all the stuff for dri ( I am now on 2.4.9 kernel ). But still I get the
following :

(**) Option "dpms"
(**) I810(0): DPMS enabled
(==) I810(0): Direct rendering disabled
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Any ideas what am I missing ?

My kernel options are :

#
# Ftape, the floppy tape device driver
#
# CONFIG_FTAPE is not set
CONFIG_AGP=y
# CONFIG_AGP_INTEL is not set
CONFIG_AGP_I810=y
# CONFIG_AGP_VIA is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_AMD is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SIS is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_ALI is not set
# CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS is not set
CONFIG_DRM=y
# CONFIG_DRM_TDFX is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_GAMMA is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_R128 is not set
# CONFIG_DRM_RADEON is not set
CONFIG_DRM_I810=y
# CONFIG_DRM_MGA is not set


Thanks in advance.

Regards
