Glxinfo tells me glx sever is version 1.2 and I believe pbuffers require at least glx 1.3 to work. I've downloaded the Intel2009Q1 software and am trying to update to the latest drivers. My system config Is as follows: kernel 2.6.29.4-167.fc11.x86_64 (I also have 2.6.31.rc2 installed) Key rpms: libdrm-2.4.12-0.1.fc12.i586 libdrm-2.4.12-0.1.fc12.x86_64

xorg-x11-drv-intel-2.8.0-0.1.fc12.x86_64 I have not yet tried to patch my kernel or update libdrm or anything except for building the Graphics driver. It is not clear to me if I need to update mesa or libdrm since I seem to have newer stock versions installed. It is not clear if I need to update xorg and patch my kernel. I was able to compile the graphics driver (intel_drv.so) in my current environment, but when I tried to use it My system locks up. Restoring the stock driver makes my system work again. My two key questions are: 1. Will this driver support pbuffers? 2. What exactly do I need to update to use this new driver and what is the correct sequence to install the correct Components and patches. Unfortunately, the instructions I following on <A HREF="http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html">http://intellinuxgraphics.org/install.html</A> Lead to difficulties... Thanks for your help.
