Yes, thank you, found it and tried it last night. and a version mismatch is exactly what happened. The install script takes care of replacing all the above for you, no? Also I was running kernel 2.6.1; I noticed the 'only 2.4 kernels note' but regardless the script ran cleanly and without any problems noted in the install log.The binary DRI snapshots on freedesktop.org should work, although, I've not tried them myself. http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Download make sure you replace ati_drv, radeon_drv, and XFree86 otherwise you will get version mismatches.
