That's exactly what I have ended up doing, built the kernel driver myself and installed the GLX RPM, but still no luck. Avi --On Tuesday, September 04, 2001 05:13:41 PM +0100 "Harrell, Tim" <HarrelT1@Midas-Kapiti.com> wrote:

4. Tried to do the same to the GLX source RPM but SuSE insists on creating a link from /usr/src/linux-2.4.4.SuSE to linux even though I am running 2.4.7.SuSE and it fails creating the RPM (of course, I don't have the source for 2.4.4 installed).

First, remove /usr/src/linux-2.4.4.SuSE and /usr/src/linux. Download the 2.4.7 source and extract it to /usr/src [ bzip2 -dc linux-2.4.7.tar.bz2 | tar -xf - -C /usr/src/ ]. Now try compiling the SRPM.

I've always found it easier to get the kernel part as source (which you've done) and the GLX part as a straight binary rpm and install that.
