CONFIG_ACPI_VIDEO build failure patch
I think this could resolve the build failure. Any comments are welcome.
I confirm, this patch resolves my problem. Thanks. See Gentoo Bug 372321 https://bugs.gentoo.org/show_bug.cgi?id=372321 This is happening again in kernel 3.2.12-gentoo How long until this becomes an adopted patch? The Gentoo dev has a good reason for forcing patch into here (See Comment 12 in the link above. We don't accept patches via bugzilla - so nobody is going to apply it just because it's referenced there. This issue/bug is still valid in the new version 3.7.9. http://bpaste.net/show/VkJUEoWaLkMjO93zikE7/ If you have set marked the NVIDIA(nouveau) driver in the kernel as (*) and still the make fails with these kind of errors: http://bpaste.net/show/VkJUEoWaLkMjO93zikE7/ because the ACPI_VIDEO is not per definition set to -*- but only set to -M-, so then you have to go around that and edit a lot of settings with manually (Y) before the ACPI_VIDEO is set to -*-.

Created attachment 63162 [details] kernel 2.6.38-r6 .config Hi. I cannot compile a 2.6.38 kernel (and 2.6.37 too) with Nouveau support. I always get the error. drivers/built-in.o: In function `nouveau_acpi_edid': (.text+0xd6a00): undefined reference to `acpi_video_get_edid' Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Take my .config (or `zcat /proc/config.gz > /usr/src/linux/.config` with the current Gentoo Minimal CD running and turn on Nouveau support) 2. make menuconfig 3. make && make modules_install Actual Results: Kernel is not compiled because of error drivers/built-in.o: In function `nouveau_acpi_edid': (.text+0xd6a00): undefined reference to `acpi_video_get_edid' Expected Results: Kernel is compiled It is possible that Nouveau has not specified all dependencies properly in the Kconfig.
