I am on Ubuntu Edgy and have just bought a Radeon 9250.

glxinfo ouputs a lot of "GLX" missing on display" errors.
dmesg | grep agp shows I have AGP configured correctly
dmesg | grep drm outputs nothing, so I decided to build DRM from CVS.


I used this page - http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building,

I tried to get the dependencies using the following commands, but there is no
mesa package in Ubuntu:

apt-get build-dep mesa
apt-get build-dep libdrm
apt-get install git-core autoconf automake libtool libxmu-headers libxmu-dev
libxi-dev libdrm-dev-

I then got the source and build libdrm.

Unfortunately, running "make linux-dri-x86" fails. I used apt-file to search and
install a few missing files I saw in the error messages, which got me further,
but still did not fix it.

Do I just have some missing dependencies? Is there a package I can do an
"apt-get build-dep" on? Is there another problem? I am not experienced with
compiling software, so I am not sure what troubleshooting I can do
