Description Sankara Krishnamoorthy 2003-03-15 02:47:24 UTC 
spend hours installing and updating xfree-drm to get DRI working, apparentely
the portage script looks for /usr/src/linux to determine the kernel, I don't see
any point in this, as I could be running a different kernel, and the script
updates modules in whatever kernel /usr/src/linux is pointing to.



Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge xfree-drm 
2. /usr/src/linux pointing to different kernel version than your current one
3. 

Actual Results:  
install went perfect updated the modules in what kernel /usr/src/linux was
pointing to and not my current kernel

Expected Results:  
should have updated modules in my current kernel in /lib/modules/mykernel
