David, thank you for sharing your experience. On my system, doing "uname -r" gets the response "2.6.22-gentoo-r2-osmp". In my /usr/src/linux directory I currently have a .config file starting with the lines # Automatically generated make config: don't edit # Linux kernel version: 2.6.22-gentoo-r2 # Mon Sep 3 21:48:37 2007 Can you suggest how to change directory names to allow the ati-drivers to build?
