I tried it again on my laptop with a 2.4.27 kernel, and it worked without any
problems, 
 except one compilation warning:

firegl_public.c:207:1: warning: "pte_unmap" redefined
firegl_public.c:140:1: warning: this is the location of the previous definition

See attached patch for getting rid of it.
