Did you try rebuilding that module against those kernel sources yet?

It may still be there, it may have been edited out, it might be in the thread starter or in comment #456 pointing to a Google search which showed up a single reference from its cache originating from a website that went bust in 2003 - I just can't be sure... So please either summarise the relevant information right here on the bug report or close it.

did you run "make modules_install" for kernel before "emerge ati-drivers"? what version of x11-drivers/ati-drivers are you using? do you have any additional messages is dmesg?

I tried both ati-drivers 8.493 and 8.501.
Are there any additional information in system log (dmesg) after "modprobe fglrx"?
Marking this "worksforme" since I haven't been able to reproduce this bug on the same machine with a newly installed Gentoo.

Checking dmesg after that unsuccessful module loading it says: fglrx: disagrees about version of symbol struct_module I 'solved' the problem by changing to 2.6.25-r8, on which those drivers work fine.

Reopening cause the problems occurred again :(

I work +20 hours a week to make Gentoo better, with no pay. :) Anyway, I'm out of here. I'm assuming now that this is a problem with x11-drivers/ati-drivers...
I know for sure that the latest driver works with the .26 kernel since I have such combination working. Could you please try those?
