[gentoo-user] Problem with Xsetup
hi i am a newbie in gentoo and for the first time i tried to upgrade my kernel from 2.6.12-r6 to 2.6.12-r10 , but the kernel was not upgraded .. Now when i boot my system with the older kernel i am not able to start KDE .. Whenever i write startx on the terminal i get the message Using vt 7 Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved! Can anybody please help me out with this ... Thanx in advance regards rajat
Re: [gentoo-user] Problem with Xsetup
Hi holly, uwe Thanx for ur replies ... I was actually trying to install my sound driver whenemerge automatically downloaded the newer version of kernel i.e 2.6.12-r10 telling me it has a better support for sound cards.. After the newer version was downloadedin /usr/src/ , i did make menuconfig to configure the kernel and save the .config file. Then make make modules_install to compile the kernel. After that i compiled the kernel and copied it to the /boot directory. But forgot to update the grub.conf file ... When rebooted the system i tried to start the X server but it always shows the same message till now..I thought there maybe some problem with the newer version. Then i realize i haventupdated the grub.conf file and this was my older version being loaded soi make the link linux point towards older version. When i do a uname -a it shows me the older version i.e 2.6.12-r6 of the kernel . Before that my Xserver was working fine. Does updating to new kernel effect the configuration file of Xserver. I have attachedmy Xserver's Log file. When i execute /etc/X11/X it a gui window does appear with a mouse pointer but nothing happens after that. When i go back to the terminal i see the same message being displayed Using vt 7Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved! Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!What should i do now ??

[gentoo-user] AGP GART support not availiable
Hi
I have copied the kernel from live CD on to my hard
disk .. Now when i am trying to start KDE (startx) i
get the following errors:
(EE) GARTInit: unable to open /dev/agppart (No such
file or directory)
(EE) i810(0) : AGP gart support is not availiable .
is it possible to add the support for agpgart without
reinstalling the whole system ... Or is it possible to
recompile the kernel without effecting the rest of the
system ...
Please suggest me what should i do
Rgds Thnx

[gentoo-user] Help needed for installing KDE
Hi ,
I have downloadedimage (Kernel-2.6.12-gentoo-r6) for x86 architecture from the gentoo website and complied the gentoo kernel for pentium 3 processor (coppermine). But while emering portages for gentoo,after compilation of KDE portage my computer hangs permanentally and nothing more is done after that. Everytime when irestart my computer and emerge KDE, it starts compilationfrom the same point . Also i keep getting DMA_INTR errors sometimes while installion . I have tried using -c option with mke2fs but the errors still keep coming . Is it because of that . Can anyone please help me and suggest what would be causing this problem and how can i carry on with the installation.
I was facing some compiler problem (i368 VS i686 ) which then was resolved by using fix_lib_tools . Is there something that i maybe missing as this is the first time i am installing gentoo.
