[MPlayer-users] Problems at driver-install - answer not in the FAQ

[Butch]

Hi,

I get problems to install the mga_vid-driver.
I am using the new RedHat7.3

Makefile doesnt find the file modversion.h. This file is in
/usr/include/linux. I changed the directory in the Makefile to
KERNEL_INCLUDES = /usr/include

Now I get other error-messages

Do you have an idea, how I can install the drivers?

Thanks in advance,
