hi xf folks, typical newbie question, i have downloade, built, and now installed xf 4.2.0. as it built so clean, i figured i'd go for broke and install it. alas, i get a problem, no gui after a reboot. looking at the startup logs, i see unresolved externals, (II) R128(0): Using XFree86 Acceleration Architecture (XAA) Screen to screen bit blits Solid filled rectangles 8x8 mono pattern filled rectangles Indirect CPU to Screen color expansion Solid Lines Dashed Lines Scanline Image Writes Offscreen Pixmaps Setting up tile and stipple cache: 32 128x128 slots 32 256x256 slots 16 512x512 slots (II) R128(0): Acceleration enabled (II) R128(0): Using hardware cursor (scanline 1540) (II) R128(0): Largest offscreen area available: 1024 x 7419 (**) Option "dpms" (**) R128(0): DPMS enabled (WW) R128(0): Option "CalcAlgorithm" is not used (II) R128(0): Direct rendering disabled Symbol drmFreeBufs from module /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/drivers/r128_drv.o is unre solved!
