 |
|
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.
