Then reset... :-( - The proprietary ATI driver (x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.582) can't compile with gentoo-sources-2.6.28-r4. It asks me to set CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y in the kernel config. But there is no CONFIG_PCI_MSI line in the .config !!! Is CONFIG_PCI=y present? If set to =n the all PCI things are not configured... CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI=y should also be there, for this an internal check if your platform has the possibility to use MSI. Any idea that would help me ? Maybe a make menuconfig could be a little more informative for you. Thank you very much, Sebastian #CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI is not set, and i don't see the line in make menuconfig. I suppose i have to select another option to make it appear, but i can't find the good one... make menuconfig hit '/' button to search serach for MSI it will show you what you need to know. Ok, i forgot that very useful "/" button ! I hit it and found i hadn't selected Local APIC Support on uniprocessors. Now : CONFIG_ARCH_SUPPORTS_MSI=y CONFIG_PCI_MSI=y Next step, i try to emerge ati-drivers... Thanks a lot for your help ! cheers, -- Jacques
