I will emerge xorg-x11 on a XEN kernel but the ati driver fails because of the XEN Architekture. now I skip the Packet /var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c: In function `__ke_agp_unbind_memory': /var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c:3910: warning: passing arg 1 of pointer to function from incompatible pointer type make[1]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.o] Error 1 make: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.16.26-xen' * DRM module not built >>> Source compiled. >>> Test phase [not enabled]: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1 >>> Install ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1 into /var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.21.7-r1/image/ category x11-drivers * Installing fglrx module install: cannot stat `fglrx.ko': No such file or directory !!!

Post some errors and emerge --info.
Created attachment 93625 [details] error log for x86 The line numbers match with the error I get so probably the bug is the same as the one I'm experiencing. The problem is a parse error before a string constant.

Created attachment 93626 [details] error log for x86 with gcc 4.1.1 It gives a completely different error if ati-drivers is compiled with gcc 4.1.1 instead.
Created attachment 93680 [details] full error log for x86 with gcc 4.1.1 I attach the full error log, obviate the previous one for gcc 4.1.1
I did a search around the web and also in our forums and I noticed that for kernels 2.6.17 and above that version of ati-drivers will no work. I changed to ~arch for these drivers and they compiled fine against this kernel with version 8.27.10-r1. In conclussion, instead of trying to fix this, could it be possible to add a check to the ebuild so that it dies with "kernel not supported" before even trying to do anything else?
Right, and together with that, would it be possible to also add that the kernel must be compiled with the same version of GCC with which ati-drivers are going to be compiled? That notification would prevent a successful installation and would report the following error when starting X: FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/.../fglrx.ko): Invalid module format fglrx: version magic 'blah' should be 'blah blah'
See http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic-t-494445-highlight-atidrivers.html workaround: use testing version
This version is no longer in the tree. You need >=8.27.10-r1 for 2.6.17 (and >=8.29.6 for 2.6.18).
