2.4.20 Compile Failure

2.4.20 Compile Failure

[Ian Chilton]

Hello,

I'm not on linux-kernel at the moment so please cc any replies directly.

I get the following error when compiling
2.4.20-fairsched-kpreempt-skas3.

If I remove this..:
--- DRM 4.1 drivers
<*>   SiS
...it works fine.


Here is the error:

compile in the sis frame buffer too. They need each other iirc.

Hello,

Yes, that fixed it - Thanks!

Maybe it should be made so the SiS DRM option only appears if the SiS
framebuffer is selected?
