Hi,
I am new to Gentoo and I am having a lot of Problems whit DRI!

I know there are a lot of post but they are too complicate for me! ..and often they say different and contraddictory things!!!

I hope sameone can help me !

This is my situation.

Gentoo 2004.2 installed on my laptop with IGP 340M.

I have compiled the following option in the kernel 2.6.8-gentoo-r3 :

/dev/agpgart <*>
ati-chipset <*>
DRM <*>
redeon <M>

Then I have installed Xorg 6.7.0-r1

What I have to do now!?

I can't understand if I have to patch the kernel (I hope no! Too dificult for me) or not and simply (!) follow the instruction at http://dri.sourceforge.net/cgi-bin/moin.cgi/Building
But at the end of this document there is written something about installation problem with Gentoo and I am not able to understand if this is my case ....

Thanks in advance .... Gentoo is very difficult ... probably too much for me! :cry:
