[gentoo-user] DRM kernel issues
OK, So I built this kernel twice, one with DRM * and once DRM [m] In the /boot dir ; diff config-3.13.6-gentoo config-3.13.6B-gentoo yeilds: 2256,2257c2256,2257 CONFIG_AGP=y CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=y --- CONFIG_AGP=m CONFIG_AGP_AMD64=m 2264,2265c2264,2265 CONFIG_DRM=y CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=y --- CONFIG_DRM=m CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m 2268c2268 CONFIG_DRM_TTM=y --- CONFIG_DRM_TTM=m 2278c2278 CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=y --- CONFIG_DRM_RADEON=m So when I boot the one with DRM_Radeon=m, I still get this error message building the latest radeon driver: * Checking for suitable kernel configuration options... (red) * CONFIG_DRM must be disabled or compiled as a module and not (red) * loaded for direct rendering to work. * Please check to make sure these options are set correctly. Sure it can easily be related to my limited knowledge of grub2, but I did boot the 3.13.6B version of the kernel where all is set as modules ideas or suggestions as to what I missed? James

Doesn't the ebuild check the config in /usr/src/linux, not /proc/config.gz? So it is checking your latest config, not the running kernel. -- Neil Bothwick Hospitality: making your guests feel like they're at home, even if you wish they were. signature.asc Description: PGP signature

That means that, even though you've booted a kernel that has DRM built as a module, when ati-drivers builds, it is looking at the config and objects that reside within /usr/src/linux. That being said, I'm pretty sure the warning you're being presented with is just a warning and is safe to ignore, given that you know you need to be running a kernel that does not have DRM built-in.
