1 2DRM README file 3 4 5There are two main parts to this package: the DRM client library/interface 6(libdrm.so) and kernel/hardware-specific device modules (such as i915.ko). 7 8 9 10Compiling 11--------- 12 13By default, libdrm and the DRM header files will install into /usr/local/. 14If you want to install this DRM to replace your system copy, say: 15 16 ./configure --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/ 17 18Then, 19 make install 20 21 22To build the device-specific kernel modules: 23 24 cd linux-core/ 25 make 26 cp *.ko /lib/modules/VERSION/kernel/drivers/char/drm/ 27 (where VERSION is your kernel version: uname -f) 28 29Or, 30 cd bsd-core/ 31 make 32 copy the kernel modules to the appropriate place 33 34 35 36Tips & Trouble-shooting 37----------------------- 38 391. You'll need kernel sources. If using Fedora Core 5, for example, you may 40 need to install RPMs such as: 41 42 kernel-smp-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm 43 kernel-devel-2.6.15-1.2054_FC5.i686.rpm 44 etc. 45 46 472. You may need to make a symlink from /lib/modules/VERSION/build to your 48 kernel sources in /usr/src/kernels/VERSION (where version is `uname -r`): 49 50 cd /lib/modules/VERSION 51 ln -s /usr/src/kernels/VERSION build 52 53 543. If you've build the kernel modules but they won't load because of an 55 error like this: 56 57 $ /sbin/modprobe drm 58 FATAL: Error inserting drm (/lib/modules/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/drm.ko): Invalid module format 59 60 And 'dmesg|tail' says: 61 62 drm: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module 63 64 Try recompiling your drm modules without the Module.symvers file. 65 That is rm the /usr/src/kernels/2.6.15-1.2054_FC5-smp-i686/Module.symvers 66 file (or rename it). Then do a 'make clean' before rebuilding your drm 67 modules. 68 69 70
