the drm that comes with Fedora Core 5 works with openchrome out of the
box.  To compile the openchrome drivers you needs to install the
xorg-x11-server-sdk, libdrm-devel, libXvMC-devel, and LibXv-devel
packages through yum.  I think that is all the dependencies, but their
might be a few more.  If openchrome still won't get through configure
post your config.log and I will take a look.
