I recntly compiled the Spice the same way, and it worked. But it doesn't start, it segfaults. I'm talking to the maintainer about it.

Try different configuration programs, and if you have X 3.3.6 now, try 4.0.x. This card works for me with X 4.0.1 and 16 bit color depth. Some options in the config file are necessary to make the screen look good. Read www.xfree86.org/ And search the archive of this mailing list.

modversions.h

I thought if I compile the kernel with CONFIG_MODVERSIONS=y it puts modversions.h in /usr/include/linux, but it didn't. Why? I want to compile a kernel module that looks for modversions.h. Sorry if this was answered before but the archive search doesn't work.
