Basically, you've done a lot of recompiling and messing around with things that are completely unrelated to the problem. ;o) The problem was reported to me just recently, and fixed in less than 5 minutes. It is in 4.2.1-11 for RHL 8.0 on people.redhat.com: * Wed Feb 5 2003 Mike A. Harris <mharris@redhat.com> 4.2.1-11 - Added XFree86-4.2.1-ati-r128-missing-symbols.patch to fix bug (#83303) This bug tells me that barely anyone uses Rage 128 DRI, since the bug is in all released versions of XFree86 4.2.0 and 4.2.1, and nobody reported the bug until now, over a full year after the release of XFree86 4.2.0. Nonetheless, it is fixed now. -- Mike A.
