http://portal.aphroland.org/~aphro/rebuild.log what happened is in that log file. it built everything in the source rpm without problems. if there is an additional RPM I haven't tried it(thats the only one i saw at the time). I did not try to install it, what I would do usually after the rpm is created is convert it to tar/gz and install it manually: alien -t filename.rpm (you'll need to apt-get install alien) you can also convert it to deb with alien -d and installing it with dpkg .. I haven't tried to load the modules or install the files since I don't have that hardware, but I suspect since the compile was so smooth it would work if I had the hardware. what errors are you getting? possible that you don't have all the dev packages needed to compile it(my systems usually have TONS of dev packages). as you've seen with this experience, using a 3rd party driver usually is much easier when you've built your own kernel, same goes for drivers like Nvidia, or VMware, which I use as well. if theres another rpm lemme know the url again and i can try to build it to see what happens on my end your almost there! good luck nate -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
