Hi,
I am using a AMD geode hardware for which i have the video driver sources. I compiled it in ubuntu and i got a .so extension. and tried doing insmod in TC. but doesnt work. So, i suspect that i need to compile it in TC itself. Can someone help me regarding this as to how to compile or add a driver in the TC.
Please suggest
Thanks

There's a Geode video driver included in the Xorg extension.

Ah but have a look at the Xorg Wiki: http://www.x.org/wiki/GeodeDriver (http://www.x.org/wiki/GeodeDriver)
The Geode driver supports the GX2. Various bits of hardware I'm playing with use the GX1 (or GX1 core embedded in the SC2200) and support for this hasn't yet been integrated into the geode driver. What I would like is either or both of xf86-video-cyrix and xf86-video-nsc included in the distribution. A lot of these systems have BIOSes that don't have a proper VESA implementation and I'm hoping that the X driver will solve my graphics problems. (Decent BIOS means VESA driver works). I've downloaded the drivers from the Xorg site but my attempts to compile them have not been successful - and maybe (due to their age) doomed to failure.

I think they weren't included in the 7.4 set at all, or that they didn't build for me; it's been a while.
