it looks like there is something wrong with the source code from ATI, have you tried deleting the distfile and re-downloading it? or maybe try an older stable version? or a newer masked one?

I'm trying to emerge x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5 so it's the newest ebuild in portage
I've already tried switching GCC, no results. Kernel 2.6.20-gentoo-r6
| Code: |

Any fix for this yet? I'm trying to get a new laptop set up and have the exact same error as posted above.
Kernel version 2.6.20-gentoo-r7, on AMD64 with ATI-Drivers version 8.32.5 |

| it seems to be related with the kernel config since changing it somehow made it work for me. unfortunately i did not manage to get the emerged drivers to run yet. |

As this post suggests, one can patch the kernel sources to make ati-drivers-8.32.5 to compile. Here is how I did it on my notebook:
First, emerge the sources, of course. Then, navigate to the source base directory:
Now, create the diff-file (this is for amd64-based computers):
| Code: | diff -pu linux-2.6.19-gentoo-r5/include/asm-x86_64/unistd.h \
linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r7/include/asm-x86_64/unistd.h > /tmp/ati.patch |
Navigate in to the new kernel sources directory:
| Code: | | cd linux-2.6.20-gentoo-r7 |
and patch the source with:
| Code: | | patch -p1 -R < /tmp/ati.patch |
Compile and install the patched kernel, as usual. And the ati-drivers-8.32.5 should now emerge correct.
It is a workaround, I know, but the new ati-drivers-8.35.5, which compiles fine with newer sources, doesn't work properly on my system, so...

| Remove "Paravirutalization support" (since 2.6.20) under "Processor types and features" and you'll be able to compile ati-drivers against your new (>= 2.6.20) Kernel without problems. |

Well, I couldn't find that "Paravirutalization support" section in the kernel config utility.
So, I just downloaded the drivers from the ATI website, and installed them without Portage. They installed fine, and HW acceleration is now working, and my screen looks good and isn't all blurry now.
I followed the instructions on This Page (minus the "emerge ati-drivers..."). |

I'm having the same problem with the 8.32.5 ati drivers, and i compiled the 2.6.20-r7 without the experimental Paravirutalization support, still no go  . |

Well, it seems that all is not peachy-keen.
Even though my drivers seem to be working, and my GUI (Fluxbox) looks nice and everything starts up properly, when I exit Fluxbox, my screen does not drop out to the standard text based console.
Instead it goes blank, and then flashes, and then spits out vertical lines every few seconds. I have to ctrl-alt-del to reboot and restart. Once I restart, the console starts up fine, until I restart Fluxbox and then exit it again.
Any ideas on this one? |
