hi all is there a way/method to compile an X11 driver at boot before X starts??? Seems like the ATI catalyst driver (after a kernel change) does not start correctly and locks up the box I need to recompile the driver after udev and before X. How is this done? Jerry
vi /etc/init.d cahnge the number 5 to 3 reboot fix driver change the 3 to 5 reboot enjoy On Thu, Mar 5, 2009 at 9:20 PM, Jerry Geis <geisj at pagestation.com> wrote:> hi all > > is there a way/method to compile an X11 driver at boot before X starts??? > > Seems like the ATI catalyst driver (after a kernel change) does not > start correctly and locks up the box > I need to recompile the driver after udev and before X.

Some way to execute the compile before X is started. I am already detecting a kernel change and recompiles selected needed modules and reboots but this happens by /etc/rc.d/rc.local. This is too late. X is already trying to start and /etc/rc.d/rc.local never gets executed as the machine locks. This is for more than just one machine. Thanks, Jerry
