 |
|
Hello guys, I'm a bit desperate I'm a linux newbie and I've just put gentoo 2005.0 on my pc, but when I merge ati-drivers the compiler doesn't create any fglrx module... I'm running 2.6.11-gentoo-r3 kernel and media-video/ati-drivers-8.8.25, I've searched the web and i've find this:
http://odin.prohosting.com/wedge01/...ml#4_ebuildfail, so i've emerged ad compiled vanilla (2.6.11.2), and I've ryed to re emerge ati-drivers, but I have the same problem: the compiler doesn't create any fglrx module...
You can see some logs at this address: http://forum.futuremediaitaly.it/sh...&threadid=18561
I'm desperate , so what I have to do ? 
Let me know TNX |

The 8.8.25 drivers aren't the most recent, there are two later versions - 8.10.19 and 8.12.10. Both are more likely to compile succesfully against the kernel you're using. To emerge the newer versions, do: | Code: | mkdir -p /etc/portage
echo "media-video/ati-drivers ~x86" >> /etc/portage/package.keywords
emerge ati-drivers |
You should see that the 8.12.10 version is being installed. You may have had problems with the unpatched kernel if you forgot to update the /usr/src/linux symlink to point to the new sources - if you didn't change it, the drivers would still have been compiled against your original kernel.

| I can't see the logs because the links are broken, but if it mentions that DRM is enabled, and the modules fails because of that, you will have to compile a kernel without DRM enabled. |
