I started out with Midwan's advice on his webblog and got stuck after this:* Install Debian packages "linux-source-2.6.20", "gcc", "libc6-dev", "linux-headers-2.6.20-15-generic", and "linux-kernel-headers".
* cd /usr/src/
* sudo tar jxvf linux-source-2.6.20.tar.bz2
* cd linux-source-2.6.20
* sudo cp /boot/config-2.6.20-15-generic .config
* sudo make oldconfig && sudo make prepare
* cd /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic
* sudo ln -s /usr/src/linux-source-2.6.20 build
Download this package to ~/drm.tar.bz2
I don't think I have built the kernel???
This is what happened after I ran the easy installer:
Found DRM source directory drm-20070225
Would you like to download the newest 'git' version, instead
of using these sources [y/N]?
Will use existing source drm-20070225
Building from drm-20070225
Makefile:153: *** Cannot find a kernel config file. Gestopt.
Building modules failed!
Leaving build tree in /tmp/tmp.ZNRAH12640

I'm pretty much a newbie on Linux, really am trying my very best, but please keep it simple to me since my head starts spinning quite easily since I am not very familiar with a lot of terms.
Did I do something very wrong? How to continue now?
