Sure, explain to me how I should upgrade my RH-9 system to work on my new i915?



Download a new kernel.org kernel or petition the fedora legacy folks to
include a drm update. The last release RH-9 kernel has various security
and data integrity issues anyway, so you'd be a fool to keep running it.


OK, I've found www.kernel.org, and clicked on the 'latest stable kernel' link. I got a file called "patch-2.6.8.1.bz2". I tried to install this but nothing happened. My i915 still doesn't work. What do I do now?


Just out of interest, what would the scenario be if you do if you could
get a compatible driver?
