<title>Kernel Compilation Settings</title>
|
|
<para>If you have an Intel P6 (Pentium Pro, Pentium II and later) it is recommended
|
|
that you compile <acronym>MTRR</acronym> (Memory Type Range Registers) support into the kernel.
|
|
The kernel can map Cyrix and AMD <acronym>CPU</acronym>s to the
|
|
<acronym>MTRR</acronym> interface so selecting this
|
|
option is useful for those processors also.
|
|
This option is found in the
|
|
"Processor type and features" menu. It can increase performance of
|
|
image write operations 2.5 times or more on <acronym>PCI</acronym> or
|
|
<acronym>AGP</acronym> video cards.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>In the "Character Devices" section, enable <acronym>AGP</acronym> Support and select the chipset
|
|
support on your motherboard. If you do not know the chipset, you may select
|
|
all the chip types at the expense of extra kernel size. You can usually
|
|
determine your motherboard's chipset by doing:</para>
|
|
<screen><userinput><command>cat /proc/pci</command></userinput></screen>
|
|
|
|
<para>In the "Character Devices" section, <emphasis>disable</emphasis> Direct
|
|
Rendering Manager unless you have a Direct Rendering Infrastructure
|
|
(<acronym>DRI</acronym>)
|
|
supported video card. A complete list of <acronym>DRI</acronym> supported video cards can
|
|
be found at <ulink url="http://dri.sourceforge.net" /> in the Status section.
|
|
Currently,
|
|
supported cards include those from 3dfx (Voodoo, Banshee), 3Dlabs,
|
|
ATI (Rage Pro, Rage 128,
|
|
Radeon 7X00, Radeon 2), Intel (i810, i815), and Matrox (G200, G400, G450).
|
|
If you do enable <acronym>DRI</acronym> here, make sure you select the video card(s) you want
|
|
to support as a <emphasis>module</emphasis>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Additionally NVidia provides their own closed source binary drivers,
|
|
which do not make use of <acronym>DRI</acronym>. If you intend to use these drivers,
|
|
do not enable <acronym>DRI</acronym>.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>If you made any changes to the kernel configuration, recompile the kernel.</para>
|
|
|
|
<para>Copy <filename>/usr/src/linux/arch/i386/boot/bzImage</filename> and
|
|
<filename>/usr/src/linux/System.map</filename> to
|
|
<filename>/boot</filename>, edit <filename>/etc/lilo.conf</filename>
|
|
appropriately and run <filename>lilo</filename>. If you use
|
|
<filename>grub</filename>, edit <filename>/boot/grub/grub.conf</filename>
|
|
and add the new kernel to the boot menu.
|
|
</para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>If you build <application>XFree86</application> in a chroot environment, make sure the kernel
|
|
version of the base system and the target system are the same. This is
|
|
especially important if you enabled <acronym>DRI</acronym> support as a module as
|
|
instructed above.</para></note>

<sect3><title>Creating <filename>host.def</filename></title>
|
|
|
|
<para>Although <application>XFree86</application> will compile without a
|
|
<filename>host.def</filename> file, the following file
|
|
is recommended for customizing the installation. Start from
|
|
the <filename class="directory">xc</filename> directory.</para>
|
|
|
|
<note><para>The <filename>host.def</filename> file is a
|
|
<application>C</application> file, not the
|
|
usual configuration file. If you make any changes, be sure the comment characters

are balanced. Most of the entries in the file below are

<para>If you have one of the supported <acronym>DRI</acronym> cards and

have enabled <acronym>DRI</acronym> kernel modules as explained

above, you now need to update the kernel modules to ensure they are compatible with the
