Grab the newest driver from git, update the buildreqs in the specfile to be xorg-x11-server-devel >= 1.4.99.1, and try to build it. If it works, awesome. If not, the driver probably needs to be ported to libpciaccess. There's a rough howto for porting on the Xorg wiki: http://xorg.freedesktop.org/wiki/PciReworkHowto It's mostly mechanical, but there are some bits that may require actual understanding of PCI. If you port a driver and get it working, either send me the patch or post it to xorg@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx and we'll get it merged. - ajax -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
