Hello,

I have an old laptop (Dell Latitude CPx H500 GT), which has an ATI Rage  
Mobility P/M AGP 2x card. (If I see well on forums, it uses the mach64  
architecture.) I've installed openSUSE 11.1 with KDE 4.

Because direct rendering isn't supported on this card by default, I tried  
to build the drivers based on this guide:  
http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Building. I followed the steps until 1.9  
without errors, I just got warning messages during the steps, I hope that  
isn't important. But then, actually I don't have a symlink /etc/X11/X, nor  
a /usr/X11R6/bin/XFree86 or /usr/X11R6/bin/Xorg directory (only a symlink  
xauth, which is pointing to /bin/xauth) so I don't know, how to proceed.

Now DRM loads at startup, but it doesn't detect my card.
dmesg says:

[drm] Initialized drm 1.1.0 20060810
mach64: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module

(the second line is listed 5 times)

modprobe mach64 says:

FATAL: Error inserting mach64  
(/lib/modules/2.6.27.21-0.1-pae/kernel/char/drm/mach64.ko): Invalid module  
format

Could someone help me?
Thanks in advance,
                   Norbi
