1 Hi,
2 It's been a long, long, long time since I've updated any kernels
3 but my wife's machine finally came up for review so I got started.
4 I've built and booted 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 but unfortunately I'm having
5 some trouble with the video driver. Note that this machine has run
6 Gentoo for a long time but last used a 2.6.20 kernel.

8 When starting gdm I get a text screen telling me the X server
9 failed and showing these messages in the Xorg log file:

41 Does anyone see something obvious I'm doing wrong? If so please post
