Otherwise you must compile your own DRM modules. Alternatively disable DRI. > /usr/bin/ttmkfdir is needed by XFree86-syriac-fonts-4.3.0-17 > /usr/bin/ttmkfdir is needed by XFree86-truetype-fonts-4.3.0-17 > /usr/bin/ttmkfdir is needed by XFree86-xfs-4.3.0-17 you must install the ttmkfdir package along with X. >For kernel-drm do I need to upgrade my kernel ? >I am running a generic kernel.org 4.19 now or can I turn this off some where >?? RPM only knows about what was installed with RPM, so if you're not using the Red Hat kernel, RPM won't have a clue what you are using and wether or not it provides the necessary requirements. >I tried to install the rawhide 3.0.9.2 ttmkfdir & died on a version >dependency >error: Failed dependencies: > XFree86-font-utils < 4.2.99.2-0.20021126.3 conflicts with >ttmkfdir-3.0.9-2 >do i need to install the src's for 3.0.9.2 compile then install/compile >Xfree86 4.3.0-17 To get XFree86 4.3.0 running on RHL 8.0, you need to upgrade freetype, fontconfig, expat from RHL 9 recompiled in RHL 8.0. After that, you must recompile XFree86 4.3.0 from rpm with the libGL and TLS stuff disabled. Then install with one RPM commandline all of XFree86 4.3.0, ttmkfdir, and any other packages that cause dep failures. rpm -Uvh XFree86-*4.3.0*i386.rpm ttmkfdir*.rpm <any others here> If you KNOW your kernel has the proper XFree86 4.3.0 DRM, then you can ignore that dep failure. Caveat emptor however. The easier way is to upgrade to RHL 9 first. Nonetheless it is possible, and does work. I do my development mostly on RHL 8.0. -- Mike A.
