[gentoo-user] xorg: Failed to load module: glx fglrx

[Garry Smith]

Hi,
 
I am trying to configure a Thinkpad T60 2500 with xorg and the ATI X1400 
driver.

What do I need to do to get xorg to pickup up the glx and fglrx modules?

Further details below.

Many thanks in advance.

regards
Garry

You need to remerge ati-drivers every time after you compile a new kernel.

That got it :-) Thank you.

For the record I did the following:

1. Recompile kernel
2. Re emerge Xorg  (deep with new use flags):
emerge -DvatN xorg-x11
3. Remerge the ati drivers again
emerge -av x11-drivers/ati-drivers
emerge -av x11-apps/ati-drivers-extra

etc-update
source /etc/profile
eselect opengl set ati
modprobe fglrx
startx


Thank you.

regards
Garry

You might want to emerge module-rebuild to help with such things in 
future. It tracks which ebuilds install kenrel modules that need to be 
rebuilt, and rebuilds them all with one command. So you still have to 
remember to run it after a kernel upgrade, but at least it removes the 
resulting hassle if you forget about one of the packages

Ahhh,

But does it detect kernel changes and pop itself into the list when one
runs some like 'emerge -uDp ' ???

That's what's needed is both a list of what to rebuild and an automated
reminder. I have so many gentoo systems running now, it's difficult
for my _tiny_little_brain to remember what I did, where and when.....

(kinda like the good ole days of skirt_chasin in college...)


Any help for those of us with premature_alzheimers?

I've never looked into the ebuilds to see how they manage it, but the 
on-screen output shows lines saying things like "registering self with 
module-update" or words to that effect. So I suppose the answer to your 
question is yes.

You can also use "module-rebuild add" to add stuff manually 
and "module-rebuild populate" to automatically find relevant modules 
the first time

You only need to update them after new kernel installation and maybe 
after recompiling a kernel. You should always know when you update a 
kernel 'coz you do it maually right? :-) So then remember to run 
module-update as well. With some man page reading you may event find a 
hook out of genkernel to do it automatically (but I never bothered 
researching if this is even possible)

You do know that `emerge -u gentoo-sources` does not install a new kernel, 
right? It only installs the sources (hence the name). module-rebuild needs to 
be run after you've actually configured, compiled and installed a new 
kernel...

Hello Alan,

OK I take a look.




Thanks for the insight,
James
