I don't know geek-sources. I'd guess it will have a "hacked" buildsystem that takes aleast some of the "autodetection" of the normal buildsystem away. You could try to make a diff to see differences (especially the Kconfig files). The easiest way will most likely be to contact the author of geek-sources and try to find out, if the geek-part may be that you have to configure such things manually instead of autoconfig... ;) WKR Hinnerk
