My understanding is that ati-drivers expects /usr/src/linux to contain the source of the currently running kernel. I'm running a 2.6.28 kernel. I have downloaded 2.6.30 and built that but have not yet rebooted. "emerge ati-drivers" failed with 2.6.30 in /usr/src/linux. Changing directory names allowed ati-drivers to build happily. HTH, David
