I'm owner of Dell Inspiron 1501 (AMD 64 , ATI 1150 RADEON). i've been using erlier x86_64 architecture of Gentoo and hadn't problem witch compilation x11-drivers/ati-drivers. Last I changed architecture to x86 and still attempt to compile these drivers, but unfortunately during compilation bug occures: CC [M] /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.o /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c: In function '__ke_check_pci': /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c:1951: warning: 'pci_find_slot' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/pci.h:493) /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c: In function '__ke_pci_find_slot': /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c:2840: warning: 'pci_find_slot' is deprecated (declared at include/linux/pci.h:493) LD [M] /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.o ld: Relocatable linking with relocations from format elf64-x86-64 (/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/libfglrx_ip.a.GCC4) to format elf32-i386 (/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.o) is not supported make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/fglrx.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3/work/common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.24-gentoo-r8' make: *** [kmod_build] Error 2 * * ERROR: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.471.3 failed. * Call stack: * ebuild.sh, line 49: Called src_compile * environment, line 3179: Called linux-mod_src_compile * environment, line 2394: Called die * The specific snippet of code: * eval "emake HOSTCC=\"$(tc-getBUILD_CC)\" CC=\"$(get-KERNEL_CC)\" LDFLAGS=\"$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)\" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS} " || die "Unable to emake HOSTCC="$(tc-getBUILD_CC)" CC="$(get-KERNEL_CC)" LDFLAGS="$(get_abi_LDFLAGS)" ${BUILD_FIXES} ${BUILD_PARAMS} ${BUILD_TARGETS}"; * The die message: * Unable to emake HOSTCC=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc CC=i686-pc-linux-gnu-gcc LDFLAGS= GCC_VER_MAJ=4 KVER=2.6.24-gentoo-r8 KDIR=/usr/src/linux kmod_build * * If you need support, post the topmost build error, and the call stack if relevant.
