Description Vladimir 2010-05-29 14:39:04 UTC

When CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=m (and probably when ACPI_BUTTON is not enabled)
and NOUVEAU is built-in (not as a loadable module) the following error occurs during kernel compilation:

nouveau_connector.c:(.text+0xe17ce): undefined reference to `acpi_lid_open'

Looks like this bug has been noted upstream and there are some solutions.
They may be seen here http://www.mail-archive.com/dri-devel@lists.sourceforge.net/msg47619.html
and here https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/101787/

It seems like the final one fixes the problem. Maybe this patch is worth being added to the Portage?


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Emerge gentoo-sources-2.6.34
2. set CONFIG_ACPI_BUTTON=m AND CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=y
3. try to 'make' the kernel

Actual Results:  
Gives an error during build:

nouveau_connector.c:(.text+0xe17ce): undefined reference to `acpi_lid_open'

Expected Results:  
Should compile and link fine. :)
