xfree-drm on Dell Inspiron 5100 w/Radeon M 7500

[job2600]

I am getting this error when trying to emerge xfree-drm:
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols in /lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o

I followed the steps as outlined on:
http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml
I tried compiling the kernel both with:
<*> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
[*] Intel 440LX/BX/GX and I815/I820/I830M/I830MP/I840/I845/I850/I860 support

and

<M> /dev/agpgart (AGP Support)
[*] Intel 440LX/BX/GX and I815/I820/I830M/I830MP/I840/I845/I850/I860 support
From lspci here is my graphics chip information:
00:01.0 PCI bridge: Intel Corp. 82845G/GL [Brookdale-G] Chipset AGP Bridge (rev 03)
01:00.0 VGA compatible controller: ATI Technologies Inc Radeon Mobility M7 LW [Radeon Mobility 7500]


Any ideas?

Here is the entire log of the xfree-drm emerge attempt:

add radeon to /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 file.
most likely you havent done a modprobe to get the module into the running kernel. before you add radeon to the /etc/modules.autoload.d/kernel-2.4 file do a modprobe radeon and then start X Windows

modprobe dies as well. My guess is since it died while compiling xfree-drm it's not going to work until I can get xfree-drm to compile without errors.

# modprobe radeon
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o: unresolved symbol cmpxchg
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o: insmod /lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.22-gentoo-r2/kernel/drivers/char/drm/radeon.o: insmod radeon failed

After browsing around I came across a posting in the archive:

http://www.mail-archive.com/gentoo-user@gentoo.org/msg13475.html

It mentioned that CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG needed to be set to =y in the .config for it to function properly. This made sense to me since I was getting the unresolved symbol cmpxchg when trying to modprobe radeon.o. So I recompiled my kernel with the processor set to a P4 which set CONFIG_X86_CMPXCHG=y. Still no loving though. When I emerge xfree-drm it comes up with a few more problems now:
