[ltp] xf86-video-ati compile

[linux-thinkpad@linux-thinkpad.org]

Hi,

thanks for the reply. My problem was an old automake version, 1.4 instead of 1.9. Took me 2h to figure that out.  Compiling was successful, so I just have to go to the office on monday to see the result. I keep my fingers crossed.

Which is a zillion times better than to reboot every time ;-)

I noticed that the options BIOSHotKeys, DRIReinit and MergeFB are not used anymore. I guess I don't need them anymore. Does an external monitor on the thinkpad's vga output work without the BIOSHotKeys command ? I hope I can solve my issue with that one soon ...

Cheers

Marcel
