Well, that didn't take me too long. I installed the prereqs and 
everything I thought I would need, but when I try to compile the X11 
drivers, I'm missing required files:

libtool: compile: gcc -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I.. -fvisibility=hidden 
-I/usr/include/xorg -I/usr/include/pixman-1 -g -O2 -MT displaylink.lo 
-MD -MP -MF .deps/displaylink.Tpo -c displaylink.c -fPIC -DPIC -o 
.libs/displaylink.o

displaylink.c: In function ‘DisplayLinkPreInit’:
displaylink.c:285: error: ‘struct _ScrnInfoRec’ has no member named 
‘racMemFlags’
displaylink.c:285: error: ‘RAC_FB’ undeclared (first use in this function)
displaylink.c:285: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only once
displaylink.c:285: error: for each function it appears in.)
displaylink.c:285: error: ‘RAC_COLORMAP’ undeclared (first use in this

function)

‘racIoFlags’


I used "yum provides" to try to find said files, but they're not in any 
packages.

But -- it might not matter. It looks like maybe this driver isn't 
actually required any more -- as there is a "generic" X11 driver for 
framebuffer devices: xorg-x11-drv-fbdev

Maybe its just been a while since they updated the wiki -- but it looks 
as though that is the driver I should be using with X11.

That would mean that now that the driver is installed and loaded, and 
the framebuffer driver is already in the SL repo, I should just have 
configuring to get stuff working. It also means that there is nothing 
else that's required to go into elrepo!

Cheers,
