r128_driver for X Window
Posted by Farshad on January 15th, 2004


Hi,

I'm spending a lot of time to make X work on a Dell Latitude C800 laptop.
Referring to bug #661 http://bugs.xfree86.org/, I downloaded r128_driver.c
and XFree86 4.3.0 source code. Then I replaced the r128_driver.c with the
latest version from CVS. Now, when XFree86 is compiled it gives the following
error on r128_driver.c:

-----
In function 'R128PreInitDRI':
.... structure has no member named 'allowPageFlip'
.... Error 1
-----

Is there any otherway to create and apply the new fixed driver rather than
compilting the whole XF86? If I need to compile XF86, how can I get rid of
this error? After all, maybe somebody could simply send me the r128_driver.o
if replacing just this file solves the whole problem on my system.

thank you,
Farshad
