Hi there,

I found the following text in the internet:

"5. Kernel Modules
3D hardware acceleration requires a DRI kernel module that's specific to your graphics hardware.

The DRI kernel module version must exactly match your running kernel version. Since there are so many versions of the kernel, it's difficult to provide precompiled kernel modules."

As a linux newbie I don't know how to start.
Have anyone out there a precompiled kernel with drm support (I use Knoppix V3.3 09-24-03). My graphiccard is a radeon 9500.

Thanks for help!

I think this is the wrong place to ask something like that, they are busy enough ;)

I'm trying to compile a kernel myself, its quite difficult to get it running... But I think you should keep your current, or compile one yourself. your self-compiled kernel will be the fastest solution anyway...
