I need the savage drive of x11-drm, but it fails to load:

FATAL: Error inserting savage (/lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1/x11-drm/savage.ko): Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg)

dmesg sais:
[drm] Initialized drm 1.0.0 20040925
savage: Unknown symbol pci_pretty_name

You can try the in-kernel savage drm driver.  It should be in at least 2.6.15, I am running 2.6.15-suspend2-r6 and it is there.  I have direct rendering working here with the in-kernel savage module and modular X.

workaround:

ARCH="~x86" emerge x11-drm


newer x11-drm (and marked unstable in gentoo) does'nt have this problem

Old symptom of upstream kernel development.
