When using an 2.9 driver compiled for 1.7 xorg, and 1.8 xorg, X complains about ABI mismatch. Recompiling the driver is supposed to fix this, but, I get the same error I got while building from git sources. In fact I see it was already reported at gentoo bugzilla, http://bugs.gentoo.org/317585 Well, I suppose I could just downgrade X.. Is 2.11 and beyond expected to work with Xorg 1.7? [ hmm, every time I do this, I have to wait a while.. I'm using debian testing right now (Xorg 1.7.5, intel driver 2.9.1) and it's working fine. ] -- Elias Gabriel Amaral da Silva <tolkiend...@gmail.com> _______________________________________________ Intel-gfx mailing list Intel-gfx@lists.freedesktop.org http://lists.freedesktop.org/mailman/listinfo/intel-gfx
