Hi, 
Since I also works with Fedora 10, I am also interested in this
thread :)

ok I found some updates on Development/git, and that a cool page , but I
have some questions .

On section: running new stack
* rmmod i915 # assuming you're using Intel 
  * rmmod drm 
  * insmod <path_to_drm_tree_above>/linux-core/drm.ko 
  * insmod <path_to_drm_tree_above>/linux-core/i915.ko

This isn't more applicable on Intel isn't it ? but as example for others
that don't use the new drm kernel are fine :)

Other question is about section: Building DRM. 
On Intel (that is my development case ) make install (without make -C
linux-core ) , will overwrite drm kernel headers , that is good ? 

To be honest I don't know if libdrm could be different of drm kernel and
they could act independently or if we should check if headers of libdrm
and headers of drm kernel are equal. Some clues about this question are
welcome .

Thanks,
