Hi,
   It's been a long, long, long time since I've updated any kernels
but my wife's machine finally came up for review so I got started.
I've built and booted 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 but unfortunately I'm having
some trouble with the video driver. Note that this machine has run
Gentoo for a long time but last used a 2.6.20 kernel.

   When starting gdm I get a text screen telling me the X server
failed and showing these messages in the Xorg log file:

dragonfly ~ # cat /var/log/Xorg.0.log | grep EE
Current Operating System: Linux dragonfly 2.6.25-gentoo-r8 #4 SMP
PREEMPT Fri Nov 7 16:23:23 PST 2008 i686
	(WW) warning, (EE) error, (NI) not implemented, (??) unknown.
(II) Loading extension MIT-SCREEN-SAVER
(EE) Failed to load module "i810" (module does not exist, 0)
(EE) No drivers available.

However the i810 module does exist:

dragonfly ~ # lsmod | grep i810
i810                   14848  0

Does anyone see something obvious I'm doing wrong? If so please post
back. Wife is not happy with my at the moment.

Thanks,
Mark
