 	Unfortunately, anything after that merge, is broken. The only 
build I have been able to successfully run for more than 15 seconds in 
X, is the 7/20 version of those separate trees (see my previous posts 
on this for more detail).

 	You *WANT* the r300 tree from r300.sf.net, specifically the 
drm subdirectory inside of it, to successfully build the kernel 
modules to get proper DRI on a Thinkpad with the Radeon chip.

 	These instructions are pretty out-of-date now, and I've 
promised to make the necessary corrections, but I haven't found enough 
time in my schedule to do it yet. There's about 4-5 steps that are 
completely different now, after the changes to the trees (post-patch).
