[Savage40] kernel module version mismatch?

[Luis]

Thanks for the quick reply, Alex.

I didn't know the new Savage DRM was only supported on 2.6 kernels.
I guess the Building page should be uptaded whenever you guys have
time. Right now it reads:

========================================

"1.1.9. Building the DRM on Linux

(...)

If you're building for Linux 2.4 change to the drm/linux/ directory
in the DRM tree.

(...)

Copy the resulting *.ko (2.6.x kernel) or *.o (2.4.x kernel) modules
into the kernel module tree, usually /lib/modules/$KERNEL/kernel/
drivers/char/drm, where $KERNEL is the kernel you built against."

========================================

Even a small note somewhere on the page would be enough to let people
know they should have a 2.6 kernel.

Anyway, keep up the good work. :)

Later.
