Not as far as I can tell. The script checks for various dependencies (git,
headers for
the running kernel, the kernel building packages and so on) but I can't see
that it checks
kernel configuration options (assuming that that was what you had in mind),
Is CONFIG_DRM set in /boot/config-2.6* ?
The Direct Render Manager has to be active for 3D to work. I think 2D
xrender and
XAA should work fine, but I believe that "desktop effects" and compiz
require 3D.
EXA should work, but will likely be *very* slow without DRM/DRI. XV should work
fine without DRM/DRI, but I am not sure about XVmc.
Do you not use DRM/DRI?
Not needed with vesa, nv or nvidia drivers. 3D, aiglx and xvmc all
work like a charm with the nvidia binary driver.
