[Help]Compiling and installing succsessfully the evergreen driver on ubuntu lucid

[pingufunkybeat]

You need at least the 2.6.35 kernel for Evergreen. It won't witk with anything older.

You have 2.6.32, which is ancient.

You'll also need to find and install glxinfo, so we have more useful information.

If you have data you can't afford to lose, you might want to wait still for the Evergreen support to mature or test on another computer.

There must be a repository where you can get recent kernel + mesa + ddx for Ubuntu.

Or at least, the relevant patches will have to land in one of the bleeding edge PPAs one of these days.

There are many ways to mess up compiling a kernel, and I can't help much with Ubuntu-specific things. Maybe compiling drivers from git is not what you want in this case?
