X problems with 2.6.0-test1 sources

Diezel

Having a problem here. Don't know why because everything works fine in 2.4.
I have a ATI Radeon card (on the laptop). And I have tried to enable and disable DRI in kernel menus. That doesn't seem to be the problem. If anyone has *any* ideas on where to start please tell me.

Thank you,

Mats

2.6 doesn't export ksyms, but the ATI-drivers need them. This might be your problem (although you didn't made clear what your problem really is

)

that means that kernels < 2.6.0 are exporting a Symbol-table that is usable by drivers (and some applications). You can think of it as an Index of some functions and variables (I am not a kernel-hacker, but i think that is the purpose).

The ATI-drivers rely on this but since 2.6.0 doesn't export the Symbol-table they won't work. Either ATI has to update their drivers or you have to stick with a kernel < 2.6.0.

But I don't have an ATI-Card, I just heard about that. So anyone - please correct me (and help mahellma) if I'm wrong... :wink:

At the request of mahellma, moved from Gentoo Chat to Hardware & Laptops.

If you check the last couple of pages in the Radeon sticky thread here there are unofficial ebuilds for the 3.2.0 and 3.2.4 ati-drivers which will work on 2.6. There is also a version in portage, 2.9.13-r1, which should also work with 2.6.
