I configed it more than one time and I can't remember that debconf asked
me about FBDev...

How exactly should I build the drm package? I'd like to use
debian/rules, but I am not very familiar with this... Please tell me
what I should type.
Hmmm, OK, I installed kernel-package and read the README.modules. Then I
typed:
sudo make-kpkg modules_image
cd ..
sudo dpkg -i drm-trunk-module-2.4.19_10.00.Custom+2002.10.02-1_i386.deb
And it got installed.
However, I have serious problems with the dri packags:
I can't login anymore, there is a problem with my .xsession; from
.xsession-errors:
Xlib: connection to ":0.0" refused by server
Xlib: Protocol not supported by server
xrdb: Can't open display ':0'
Should I set some permissions somewhere?
Also, my xdm login screen looks entirely different, but I guess that is
normal... (It looks a lot more ugly, by the way... ;-)

How can I tell what depth? I guess it took the default depth from the
XF86Config-4: 24 bpp.
