Sorry if this has come through more than once... Mail server fun at work today... No, really... --- Hi,
I tried installing the XFree86 4.1.0 package for SuSE 7.1 on my new Vaio GR laptop, and it installed okay, but didn't detect my ATI Radeon Mobility... sax2 can do normal VGA okay, but anything else isn't happening...
I looked at the changelog on xfree86.org and noticed support for this has been patched in to the version in CVS.
Yep. You're correct :-)
Now, I'm not that up on building sources for linux (pretty new to all this) so I decided rather than go for the (potentially unstable) version in CVS I'd just build vanilla 4.1.0 first...
That seems ok, although usually I have had no problems with using CVS before.
So I downloaded the three source .tgz files from 4.1.0, unpacked to my home directory, and built by doing the following:
cd xc su make World >& world.log
that's it... I didn't change any config files. (I looked at site.def and it looked okay) - But the build failed. (Last few lines of world.log below...)
Has anyone done this before? What steps do I need to take to make it build properly, so I can then add in my patched files and hopefully get support for my hardware. Any pointers appreciated.
Looking at your "world.log" file, I notice that you have nt
got the binary "bison" installed. I recommend that you do
this!! Furthermore, when you typed in "./configure" before
you "make", what output was shown. (Hint: you can check the
file "config.cache" for this)
