Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: Download size: &x7drivers-size; Estimated disk space required: &x7drivers-buildsize; Estimated build time: &x7drivers-time; Xorg Drivers Dependencies Required Optional To download the needed files using wget, use the following commands: wget http://anduin.linuxfromscratch.org/sources/BLFS/svn/x/wget/driver.wget && mkdir driver && cd driver && wget -B http://xorg.freedesktop.org/releases/individual/driver/ -i ../driver.wget It is very important not to build display drivers that cannot be used with your hardware. For instance, do not build Sun drivers for an x86 PC as the Sun drivers will expect to see SPARC symbols exported from the kernel. Failure to follow this warning will result in a display lockup, which requires a hard reboot, when configuring Xorg for the first time. Install the drivers by running the following commands for each package: ./configure $XORG_CONFIG \ --with-xorg-module-dir=$XORG_PREFIX/lib/X11/modules && make Now as the root user: make install --with-xorg-module-dir=...: This switch ensures that the drivers are installed into the correct directory.
