Hi holly, uwe |
2 |
Thanx for ur replies ... I was actually trying to install my sound driver |
3 |
when emerge automatically downloaded the newer version of kernel i.e |
4 |
2.6.12-r10 telling me it has a better support for sound cards.. After the |
5 |
newer version was downloaded in /usr/src/ , i did "make menuconfig" to |
6 |
configure the kernel and save the .config file. Then "make && make |
7 |
modules_install" to compile the kernel. |
8 |
After that i compiled the kernel and copied it to the /boot directory. But |
9 |
forgot to update the grub.conf file ... When rebooted the system i tried to |
10 |
start the X server but it always shows the same message till now..I thought |
11 |
there maybe some problem with the newer version. Then i realize i havent |
12 |
updated the grub.conf file and this was my older version being loaded so* *i |
13 |
make the link "linux" point towards older version. |
14 |
When i do a uname -a it shows me the older version i.e 2.6.12-r6 of the |
15 |
kernel . Before that my Xserver was working fine. Does updating to new |
16 |
kernel effect the configuration file of Xserver. I have attached my |
17 |
Xserver's Log file. When i execute /etc/X11/X it a gui window does appear |
18 |
with a mouse pointer but nothing happens after that. When i go back to the |
19 |
terminal i see the same message being displayed |
20 |
Using vt 7 |
21 |
|
22 |
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a |
23 |
is unresolved! |
24 |
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module |
