While the two kernels are the same version from portage they have of course different EXTRAVERSION. For the kernel I compiled for dri I simply added '-dri' to EXTRAVERSION. So when running uname -r it yielded 2.6.15-r1-dri. The previous kernel which I am running now lacks the '-dri'.

Unmerge x11-drm, reboot, and see if it still works. :) Unmerging x11-drm does not remove the kernel due to CONFIG_PROTECT. --- cfgpro obj /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/x11-drm/radeon.ko --- cfgpro obj /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/x11-drm/r128.ko --- cfgpro obj /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/x11-drm/mach64.ko --- cfgpro obj /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/x11-drm/drm.ko --- cfgpro dir /lib/modules/2.6.15-gentoo-r1-dri/x11-drm I do, however, believe that this output proves that I am not running the x11-drm modules since it does contain '-dri'. > > Kernel version has not changed - 2.6.15-r1. > > Yeah, then it's the x11-drm radeon module you're using, not the one > from the kernel.

Why does that mean that I'm using the x11-drm modules? -- Bo Andresen -- gentoo-user@gentoo.org mailing list
