David, thank you for sharing your experience. On my system, doing "uname |
| 34 |
-r" gets the response "2.6.22-gentoo-r2-osmp". In my /usr/src/linux |
| 35 |
directory I currently have a .config file starting with the lines |
| 36 |
# Automatically generated make config: don't edit |
| 37 |
# Linux kernel version: 2.6.22-gentoo-r2 |
| 38 |
# Mon Sep 3 21:48:37 2007 |
| 39 |
Can you suggest how to change directory names to allow the ati-drivers |
| 40 |
to build? |
| 41 |
|
| 42 |
Best regards, |
