[gentoo-amd64] Problem emerging x11-drm

[Rafael Barrera Oro]

Whenever i try to emerge x11-drm i get the following error:

my /usr/src/linux symlink is just fine, i checked it myself and point to 
the right kernel source, so im stuck. I also cant emerge ati-drivers 
since it conflicts with xorg-x11.
I have an Ati Radeon 9200

Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks in advance

For Radeons thru the 9250, you probably don't want ati-drivers, but the
native xorg drivers, which have full support incl. 3D thru the 9250s.  I
know for a fact the xorg native drivers work, on the 9200s as that's what
I'm using here.  Among other things, using the native drivers you'll no
longer have to wait on ATI to update its proprietaryware drivers every
time the xorg abi changes, since the xorg drivers are naturally synced for
every release.

As for the drm issue, I just use the in-kernel versions, so don't have
the out-of-kernel x11-drm merged at all.  That solves that problem. 
However, one thing you need to be sure of if you do choose to use the
separate x11-drm, is not only that the /usr/src/linux symlink is  correct,
but that you've actually built that kernel.  If you haven't, some of the
necessary config files that the out-of-kernel modules use simply won't be
there.  I suspect that's what the problem is in your case.

Try running `make oldconfig` inside /usr/src/linux (I
suppose you did configure that kernel allready since
portage did not complain about a missing .config
file).
Eventually also try running `make dep`, as portage suggests.
