Simple solution: Upgrade to Red Hat Linux 9 when it is released later this week. It will be available for download on March 31st via Red Hat Network for paid subscribers, and will be available in stores and downloadable via ftp a week later. Alternatively you can compile the DRM kernel modules yourself to work with Red Hat Linux 8.0. Hope this helps, TTYL -- Mike A.
