One more package, the "drm". This contains the sources. If you have
"kernel-headers" (as opposed to the now "linux-headers") installed, there
will be a little script to build them for you. Otherwize, go the the
"linux-core" subdirectory, read the Makefile for instructions. Make mach64.o
with appropriate reference to your kernel sources, LINUXDIR= if I remember.
Copy the two resulting mach64.ko and drm.ko to the appropriate place in
your /lib/modules/kernel .... (there may be a drm.ko there but that one will
not work--you can locate that to find the place, though).
Now make sure agpgart and mach64 modprobe in this order on bootup.
