Hi, all...

I am using a laptop requiring ATI graphics drivers, and when I emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.27.10-r1, I get the following error message:
Code:

 * Checking for MTRR support enabled ...                                                               [ ok ]
 * Checking for AGP support enabled ...                                                                 [ ok ]
 * Checking for DRM support disabled ...                                                                [ !! ]
 * You have DRM support enabled builtin, the direct rendering
 * will not work.


Does this imply that DRM should not be enabled at all in the kernel, or that it must be enabled as a module for direct rendering to work with my card?

Thanks...

Yes, you have to disable it in the kernel.
