When I try and emerge x11-drm for a 2.4.28-gentoo-r5 kernel with VIDEO_CARDS=radeon, it fails with compiler errors while compiling radeon_drv.c. It looks like the compiler is seeing the __devexit_p macro as a function as it complains about non-constant initializers. I have the same problem with the 2.4.28-gentoo-r2 kernel and the x11-drm-2004-08-27 (not -r1) ebuild. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Point /usr/src/linux to a suitably configured 2.4.28-gentoo-r5 kernel 2.

This oughta be closed, this isn't in the tree anymore.
Agreed. I'll close as invalid, since we don't support these versions anymore. Ian, if you have similar difficulties with newer versions, please re-open.
