kernel features: MTRR support enabled AGP support enabled DRM support disabled -> after checking the actual prerequisites and "approving" them a compile error occurs with the result that the DRM module could not be built. Though the package gets installed, agp support is crippled and 3d mode crashes. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge ati-drivers 2. modprobe fglrx (and watch klog) 3. start some 3d app Actual Results: make[1]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.19.10/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.o] Error 1 make: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/ati-drivers-8.19.10/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod] Error 2 make: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.13-gentoo-r5' ^[[33;01m*^[[0m DRM module not built Expected Results: a working fglrx module like 8.18.x used to be Portage 2.0.51.22-r3 (default-linux/amd64/2005.1, gcc-3.4.4, glibc-2.3.5-r2, 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 x86_64) ================================================================= System uname: 2.6.13-gentoo-r5 x86_64 AMD Athlon(tm) 64 Processor 3000+ Gentoo Base System version 1.6.13 ccache version 2.3 [enabled] dev-lang/python: 2.3.5, 2.4.2 sys-apps/sandbox: 1.2.12 sys-devel/autoconf: 2.13, 2.59-r6 sys-devel/automake: 1.4_p6, 1.5, 1.6.3, 1.7.9-r1, 1.8.5-r3, 1.9.6-r1 sys-devel/binutils: 2.15.92.0.2-r10 sys-devel/libtool: 1.5.20 virtual/os-headers: 2.6.11-r2 ACCEPT_KEYWORDS="amd64" AUTOCLEAN="yes" CBUILD="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" CHOST="x86_64-pc-linux-gnu" CONFIG_PROTECT="/etc /usr/kde/2/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/env /usr/kde/3.4/share/config /usr/kde/3.4/shutdown /usr/kde/3/share/config /usr/lib/X11/xkb /usr/lib/fax /usr/share/config /var/qmail/control /var/spool/fax/etc" CONFIG_PROTECT_MASK="/etc/gconf /etc/terminfo /etc/texmf/web2c /etc/env.d" CXXFLAGS="-march=athlon64 -O2 -pipe" DISTDIR="/usr/portage/distfiles" FEATURES="autoconfig ccache distlocks notitles sandbox sfperms strict userpriv usersandbox" GENTOO_MIRRORS="ftp://sunsite.informatik.rwth-aachen.de/pub/comp/Linux/gentoo http://gentoo.oregonstate.edu/ http://www.ibiblio.org/pub/Linux/distributions/gentoo" LINGUAS="de" MAKEOPTS="-j2" PKGDIR="/usr/portage/packages" PORTAGE_TMPDIR="/var/tmp" PORTDIR="/usr/portage" PORTDIR_OVERLAY="/usr/local/portage" SYNC="rsync://rsync.europe.gentoo.org/gentoo-portage" USE="amd64 X aac acpi alsa arts audiofile avi bash-completion berkdb bitmap-fonts bzip2 cdparanoia cdr crypt cups curl dga divx4linux dts dvd dvdr eds emboss encode exif expat faad fam ffmpeg font-server foomaticdb fortran freetype gcj gd gdbm gif gimp gimpprint glut gphoto2 gtk gtk2 idn imagemagick imlib java jp2 jpeg jpeg2k junit kde lcd lcms libwww lm_sensors logitech-mouse lzw lzw-tiff mad maildir mng motif mozilla mp3 mpeg mplayer ncurses nls nodrm nptl nptlonly nsplugin ntlm offensive ogg opengl pam pam_chroot pam_console pam_timestamp pcre pdflib perl pic png ppds python qt quicktime readline real recode rtc samba sasl scanner server smime snmp spell ssl symlink tcpd tetex tiff transparent-proxy truetype truetype-fonts type1-fonts udev usb userlocales vim-with-x vorbis x11vnc xine xml2 xpm xv xvid xvmc zlib linguas_de userland_GNU kernel_linux elibc_glibc" Unset: ASFLAGS, CTARGET, LANG, LC_ALL, LDFLAGS
edit: kabage I have the exact same problem (my workaround has been to run the /usr/portage/distfiles/ati-installer*19*run file and build fglrx, then re emerge ati-drivers which yes still installs even though drm fails to builds. This re sets links proper so then direct rendering kicks in.)
It should be fixed now, next time please post the actual error...
