Guys, I've checked all my kernel config files on this box: # grep -i DRM /boot/config-2.6.2* /boot/config-2.6.20-gentoo-r8:# CONFIG_DRM is not set /boot/config-2.6.23-gentoo-r9:# CONFIG_DRM is not set /boot/config-2.6.24-gentoo-r4:# CONFIG_DRM is not set /boot/config-2.6.24-gentoo-r7:# CONFIG_DRM is not set /boot/config-2.6.24-gentoo-r8:# CONFIG_DRM is not set However, there is a nice fat drm and radeon modules in my previous kernels, virtue of the fact that I installed xf86-video-ati: # ls -la /lib/modules/2.6.24-gentoo-r7/x11-drm/ total 265 drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 104 May 6 20:03 . drwxr-xr-x 6 root root 560 May 7 20:35 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 141895 May 6 20:03 drm.ko -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 123260 May 6 20:03 radeon.ko For some reason on the 2.6.24-gentoo-r8 kernel the xf86-video-ati fails to install any modules, hence this message. I haven't configured this box for ages so I may be misunderstanding something here. Do I have to switch to the kernel drivers? -- Regards, Mick
