I am trying to get the ATI drivers working on my laptop. When I build my kernel (gentoo-dev-sources-2.6.10-r6), I get the following warning:

Code:
WARNING: /lib/modules/2.6.10-gentoo-r6/video/fglrx.ko needs unknown symbol module_refcount

I didn't have much luck finding anything about it, although I did find other people with a similar problem.

Then I found this in include/linux/module.h:
Code:
#ifdef CONFIG_MODULE_UNLOAD
unsigned int module_refcount(struct module *mod);

So, it seems like I need to have "Loadable module support > Module unloading" enabled.

Hopefully that will help some other people.

Unfortunately, for me, I can't enable that because then the wireless encryption modules won't load. (I guess I look into that and see if I can get that working because I need the hardware video support to play Neverwinter Nights!)
