[tsubasa]

Hello,

Only the 31.23 drv works on my config, but i would like to try to install it on the red hat 9 and i cant compile it for the kernel ( I have the kernel source installed ).

But it work on mdk 9.1, how i can for install it on red 9 ?

You can't compile it directly; when RedHat decided they wanted to backport experimental kernel features into their RH9 kernel, they broke any drivers older than 4363.

However, there are a couple of threads around here that explain how to get it going with 4191 -- it involves going to www.minion.de and getting the rmap patch, at least. Probably others, too. You will also have to disable TLS so you don't have the GL libraries clobbering the segment registers that the kernel uses for it. The steps for how to do this are explained in those threads -- I think if you search for "phoebe", you should probably find a couple of them.
