Well, the xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.16_pre20100510 ebuild says: |
| 9 |
|
| 10 |
Nouveau DRM not detected. If you want any kind of |
| 11 |
acceleration with nouveau, emerge x11-base/nouveau-drm or |
| 12 |
enable CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU in the kernel. |
| 13 |
Nouveau DRM in kernel 2.6.33 is API incompatible to |
| 14 |
>=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.18, please use x11-base/nouveau-drm |
| 15 |
instead. |
| 16 |
|
| 17 |
Unfortunately, the same ebuild depends on >=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.19. I |
| 18 |
tried to ignore the warning but X fails with: |
| 19 |
|
| 20 |
(EE) Failed to load module "dri" (module does not exist, 0) |
| 21 |
(EE) Failed to load module "dri2" (module does not exist, 0) |
| 22 |
(EE) [drm] No DRICreatePCIBusID symbol |
| 23 |
(EE) No devices detected. |
| 24 |
|
| 25 |
The xf86-video-nouveau-0.0.15_pre20100213 ebuild only depends on |
| 26 |
>=x11-libs/libdrm-2.4.18_pre so I installed those but I still get the |
| 27 |
errors above when trying to start X. |

Any ideas? Do you have nouveau working? |
