Well, an intel based portable with a radeon 9000 was working fine
with a 2.6.12-gentoo-r9 kernel until this morning. X(kdm) would
not start. I logged in (console) and entered 'startx' and got something
very strange that may be related to other xorg problems:

First I had to comment out the { Load  "speedo"  } line, then the next
problem was:

'Symbol drmGetClient from module
/usr/lib/modules/drivers/radeon_drv.o is unresolved'

I also get:
(**) Keyboard1: CustomKeycodes disabled
(WW) No core pointer registered
(II) XINPUT: Adding extended input device "Keyboard1" (type: KEYBOARD)
No core pointer

Fatal server error:
failed to initialize core devices

I did a emerge -uD world yesterday.

Could these problems be related?

???
