Seems the module was never loading due to a conflict because DRI was |
33 |
compiled into the kernel. I had read that I needed to disable that |
34 |
option which I did and recompiled the kernel (over and over again). |
35 |
However the one step I missed was copying the newly compiled kernel from |
36 |
the source directory to the /boot directory. |

Oh the answers are always so simple... It's finding them that's tough. :) |
