You need to have agpgart and your AGP chipset enabled in your kernel for there to be a target for mga.o. Take a look through http://www.gentoo.org/doc/en/dri-howto.xml to see how to do this. I've also seen this happen when a person previously had an nVidia card and had nvidia-kernel still installed.

Thanks, that worked :-) Maybe it would be a goog idea to make a link from the installation documentation to the dri-howto when it comes to this point. I used "genkernel" to build the kernel, and this script did not recognice AGP and the Matrox card. That's why the emerge of "xfee-drm" also failed. cheers, adele
assigning to both livecd makers and docs people
Created attachment 15857 [details, diff] Proposed patch to the installation guide Proposed change to the installation guide.
Patch looks good to me Sven.
The installation guide now has a link to the Direct Rendering Guide.
Please be advised that the same thing happens for 810 video: genkernel followed by xfree-drm emerge fails with: make: *** No rule to make target `i810.o'. Stop. Shouldn't genkernel do a better job here?
Also, the dri documentation should explain, or point to an explanation, of how to do the right thing when using genkernel.
I don't know what genkernel is doing wrong. Maybe pfeifer will know, assigning to him.
*** Bug 29557 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Daniel, this is what genkernel's doing wrong (and it's not even genkernel's fault). The gentoo-sources kernel-config file should be changed from: # CONFIG_AGP is not set to: CONFIG_AGP=m CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y CONFIG_AGP_I810=y CONFIG_AGP_VIA=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD_8151=y CONFIG_AGP_SIS=y CONFIG_AGP_ALI=y CONFIG_AGP_SWORKS=y
Is this bug still valid?
Seems to have been fixed a long time ago ?!
