Hi holly, uwe
Thanx for ur replies ... I was actually trying to install my sound driver
when emerge automatically downloaded the newer version of kernel i.e
2.6.12-r10 telling me it has a better support for sound cards.. After the
newer version was downloaded in /usr/src/ , i did "make menuconfig" to
configure the kernel and save the .config file. Then "make && make
modules_install" to compile the kernel.
After that i compiled the kernel and copied it to the /boot directory. But
forgot to update the grub.conf file ... When rebooted the system i tried to
start the X server but it always shows the same message till now..I thought
there maybe some problem with the newer version. Then i realize i havent
updated the grub.conf file and this was my older version being loaded so* *=
i
make the link "linux" point towards older version.
When i do a uname -a it shows me the older version i.e 2.6.12-r6 of the
kernel . Before that my Xserver was working fine. Does updating to new
kernel effect the configuration file of Xserver. I have attached my
Xserver's Log file. When i execute /etc/X11/X it a gui window does appear
with a mouse pointer but nothing happens after that. When i go back to the
terminal i see the same message being displayed
Using vt 7
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module /usr/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.=
a
is unresolved!
Symbol __glXgetActiveScreen from module
/usr/lib/modules/extensions/libdri.a is unresolved!
What should i do now ??
Thanx and Regards
