Hello, Im installing a new dell laptop. Mostly the install has been routine. I cannot seem to get ati-drivers to install.
bugs.gentoo.org did not reveal anything useful (not from what I read). Here is the error: /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5/work/common/lib/ modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c: In function 'KAS_SlabCache_Initialize': /var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5/work/common/lib/ modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.c:5037: warning: cast from pointer to integer of different size make[2]: *** [/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5/work/common/lib/ modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x/firegl_public.o] Error 1 make[1]: *** [_module_/var/tmp/portage/x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5/work/ common/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x] Error 2 make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.22-gentoo-r5' make: *** [kmod_build] Error 2 !!! ERROR: x11-drivers/ati-drivers-8.35.5 failed. Call stack: ebuild.sh, line 1638: Called dyn_compile ebuild.sh, line 985: Called qa_call 'src_compile' ebuild.sh, line 44: Called src_compile ati-drivers-8.35.5.ebuild, line 170: Called linux-mod_src_compile linux-mod.eclass, line 516: Called die !!! Unable to make GCC_VER_MAJ=4 KVER=2.6.22-gentoo-r5 KDIR=/usr/src/linux kmod_build. so I thought I'd just add an entry to /etc/portage/package.keywords and try another version (8.39.4) that works fine on another system. On the del laptop I cannot get the system to try another ati-drivers version, despite addiing this to the /etc/portagae/package.keywords file: x11-drivers/ati-drivers ~amd64 Identical to what I have on other systems. I lookedin /usr/portage/distfiles and only found this ati file on the portable: ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run so I downloaded the other files from a similar amd 64 system where I use ati-drivers: ati-driver-installer-8.27.10-x86_64.run ati-driver-installer-8.30.3.run ati-driver-installer-8.32.5-x86.x86_64.run ati-driver-installer-8.33.6-x86.x86_64.run ati-driver-installer-8.34.8-x86.x86_64.run ati-driver-installer-8.36.5-x86.x86_64.run ati-driver-installer-8.37.6-x86.x86_64.run ati-driver-installer-8.39.4-x86.x86_64.run ati-driver-installer-8.40.4-x86.x86_64.run Still I compiling ati-drivers-8.36.5 fails and I cannot even get the dell laptop to try another version of ati-drivers. I recompiled gcc, just for grins. Did nothing to help (4.1.2). revdep-rebuild comes back clean. Since it is a new install, I mostly missed something, xorg-x11 is there. No clue. Ideas?
