ati-x11-drv - DRI modules and atieventsd

Hi Matthias,

Regarding the ati-x11-drv package, I think you need to
create links
in /usr/X11R6/%/modules/dri for the DRI modules in
%/dri
(32 and 64 bits), because the full path is hard coded in
libGL.so.1.2.
Also, the file packages/Fedora/authatieventsd.sh should be
installed in
%/ati for the atieventsd daemon to be fully
functional, as
it grants/revokes access to X.

Regards,

	Alexandre

Oh? This is confusing, since I initially had the module
inside the xorg
modules/dri/ directory, but saw errors in Xorg.0.log about
no being
able to dlopen the module from %/dri/ ...
And the /usr/X11R6/... path is really hardcoded? That would
be ugly,
since /usr/X11R6 isn't supposed to be used anymore :-(
Have you made these changes and confirm that they indeed fix
the
problems?

Oh, thanks for the hint. Again, have you tested this change
and confirm
that it fixes the problem?

Thanks a lot for the feedback
