What's the point of this nodrm kernel ? "This kernel is missing built in DRM on purpose, in order to allow the out of kernel DRM modules like aur/mach64drm compile and function properly" I don't understand this. What prevents you to build out of kernel drm modules with a normal kernel ?
For some reason, if the in kernel DRM was selected at compile time, *even* if the out of kernel DRM is compiled and the in kernel-source-tree module is replaced by the out-of-tree module, it won't work. I will check if the situation has changed. (this began at 2.6.27) On Wed, Nov 4, 2009 at 5:09 PM, Xavier <shiningxc@gmail.com> wrote:

Maybe you should define "won't work". You need to install your modules in /lib/modules/`uname -r`/updates/ to avoid conflicts and to get the priority on others. See for example http://repos.archlinux.org/wsvn/packages/nouveau-drm/repos/extra-x86_64/PKGB... PS : no top post please
