All prior kernel build through test13-pre5 would load just fine...
Strange...
Very strange - others on this list, self included, have reported something a bit different:
tdfx.o has not loaded in any kernel since -test12.
It haven't loaded since test13-pre1 for me.
Only the 'module version' was broken.
Last test12-pre7 was fine, here.
It was introduced with the Makefile cleanups.

Hi,
This is lets it load. The same missing symbols happen with mga as well...

Not sure if this is more than a temporay fix though.

I think this patch is very fine.
It works here without a hitch.

The makefile changes have broken it.
Are you certain tdfx.o loads for you in prior -test13 versions? If so, that would be a most disturbing development...

Yes your right... I just haven't noticed... Why doesn't someone fix it?

I am involved a little bit into the DRI development and I think it is because all the DRI guys (VA Linux) especially Rik Faith are out for vacation...:-)
Happy New Year!
