Check if you have a .config file in your kernel source
directory, probably /usr/src/2.6.17-1.2145_FC5smp/.
Its a hidden file so use "ls -a".
The DRI drivers can not be installed without the
latest kernel modules.
1. You need to have a .config file in the sources
directory. You can do "make oldconfig" to create the
.config file or do "make menuconfig" and then exit,
save to save the current configuration to a .config
file in the kernel sources directory.
2. The kernel sources should have been compiled, with
the modules installed at /lib/modules.
Makefile:173: *** Cannot find a kernel config file.
Stop.
Lack of .config file.
When you are compiling a driver module, you are
compiling and linking against kernel objects (which
should exist).
Its like compiling a user-application against glibc
headers.

SK
