Now that I look at the contents of the FC5 distro, I see that there is a "xorg-x11-drv-ati-6.5.7.3-4.i3..>" RPM, which I'm guessing would contain the DRI module that I need? -TimH
No, I think DRI is part of the kernel. I compile it as a module and then load it as 'drm'. See my other post for the two Xorg-X11 drivers in use on AMD64 with multiple sound cards. - Mark
