I recently decided to try out mm sources (2.6.7-rc3 I think is the version), I set it up and everything but now it wont load fglrx (the only module I use)...

I get this:

bash-2.05b# modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.7-rc3-mm2/video/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format

I dont know what to do, mm-sources are very fast compared to dev sources (to me anyway) but if I can't get fglrx to load I really don't care for them.

btw, I've tried unmerging and re-emerging ati-drivers

What does "dmesg" display after you run modprobe? (look for lines starting with "fglrx:"). The ati-drivers should work with mm-sources.

fglrx: version magic '2.6.7-gentoo SMP preempt PENTIUMM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.7-rc3-mm2 preempt PENTIUMM REGPARM 4KSTACKS gcc-3.3'

OK, what that is telling you is that there is a mismatch between the kernel the module was compiled for and the kernel you're running. Is the /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to the mm-sources directory in /usr/src? What does "uname -r" display?

In other words, does
Code:
ls -l /usr/src
show /usr/src/linux is linked to /usr/src/linux-2.6.7-rc3-mm2?

drwxr-xr-x 19 root root 4096 Jun 28 19:01 linux-2.6.7-rc3-mm2


Nope, it has it linked to my dev sources kernel.
