i'm not sure, i use a nvida card instead, i will recieve some error
while there is a wrong module compiled or i have two module which locate
at different path, this will occur probably when i update my driver.
for example, i emerge nvidia-kernel and it is in /lib/module/`uname
-r`/video/nvidia.ko, but when i update my driver to the one i downloaded
from nvidia.com, it is in /lib/module/`uname
-r`/kernel/drivers/video/nvidia.ko. system will be confused.
i'm not so experienced either, just for reference. good luck.
