Building Radeon drivers on 2.6.x kernel rpms.

[Earle Robert Nietzel]

Thats because make can't find the drm header files in

/lib/modules/2.6.1-1.65smp/build/drivers/char/drm

You can correct this by removing the drm directory and adding a symlink
to:

/usr/src/linux-2.6.1-1.65/drivers/char/drm

This will fix this problem.
