g400 + kernels (SOLVED)

[entalment]

this is unbelievable. i just was composing a message about the problem and i think i accidently solved it. so i'm posting the message because it was a three weeks of stupid fun.

if this error message appears when trying to insmod the kernel modules for the free matrox driver, you need to emerge gentoo-sources 2.4.19-r10 instead of 2.4.20-r7. recompile (i got lazy and used genkernel) fix the /usr/src/linux link and recompile the driver. after that ./update works fine (or did for me).

i spent way too long trying to get it to work with the newer kernel.
