 Posted: Thu Aug 13, 2015 2:54 pm Post subject: Nouveau drivers (and others) not showing up in kernel config |
 |
|
I recently installed the kernel sources with the 'deblob' USE flag on. Only about eight graphics drivers showed up under 'Direct Rendering Manager', so I emerged the kernel sources without the 'deblob' USE flag. Still, only eight drivers show up under DRM (mostly VM drivers).
All dependencies for the module 'nouveau' have been fulfilled, I just don't understand why it isn't showing up. Was there something else I should have done as I replaced the deblobbed kernel with the blobbed kernel? The kernel version is still the same.
Edit: Forgot to mention, this is a brand new install with kernel 4.0.5

If you mean Xorg drivers then they are not part of the kernel.

Sorry, I was unclear. I meant the KMS nouveau driver in the kernel. It is located in | Code: | | Device Drivers > Graphics Support > Direct Rendering Manager |
It's not there, and neither are most other KMS drivers (Intel, ATI etc.).
I've re-activated nouveau DRM in the .config file generated by make menuconfig, but it still doesn't show up in the menu configuration |

Good question! I just did a "make menuconfig" to try and find it in 4.1.5, but couldn't find it their either. I use RADEON so I haven't noticed it's disappearance.
I think it used to be under "experimental drivers" but I don't see that either.

It is there for me.
| Code: | | Device Drivers > Graphics Support > Direct Rendering Manager > Direct Rendering Manager (XFree86 4.1.0 and higher DRI support) > |
