41xx on RH9

[bahamot]

uhmmm the newest driver won't work on my system, and is there any way to get the 41xx work on rh9?

Only by disabling TLS.

Search around this forum for "phoebe howto" in the subject lines; a tutorial has been posted for the earlier betas, that should work with the RH 9 release.

But why isn't 4349 working?

`it's work , but not properly, it always crashes everytime X-windows is terminated i.e. change into txt mode

Did you patch the 4191 sources, like the Phoebe howto said to do? You have to...

[bahamot]

yes, i've patched it, it compiled now, but i can't load it........... :(
the system automagically scrwed up when i try to load it

can i just compile plain kernel, and use that to build 41xx driver?

[bwkaz]

Yeah, you should be able to do that. I think.

Grab 2.4.20 off kernel.org (or perhaps 2.4.21-pre6 would be better, as that has the fix for the local root ptrace/kmod exploit that was recently found) and try it.

[bahamot]

yeah i manage to do that......... but, uhmmm the overall peformance gain is not good......... esp when playing sound.....


i'll switch back to rh8.0 now........
:(.......

don't know who to blame

[bahamot]

now i know who's to be blamed, it's epox's bios !!!
damn..
now i only get 1 BIOS and 1 driver to be work , it's not properly as well ...........

You can also blame Red Hat for their custom kernel.

yeap!!!
rh9 is the most dissappointing distro ever :(
my openGL prog can't be compiled there as well.
