Here is my kernel .config

First I am a bit surprised that you use a kernel coming from gentoo on Slackware
12.2.

I would suggest you configure, compile and install a vanilla 2.6.39-rc7 (as of
today) kernel,
re-using one of the .config files available in a slackware-13.37 mirror, in the
directory
/slackware-13.37-mirror/testing/source/linux-2.6.39-rc4-configs

In of of these you'll get e.g. :

bash-4.1$ grep DRM config-generic-smp-2.6.39-rc4-smp
CONFIG_DRM=m
CONFIG_DRM_KMS_HELPER=m
CONFIG_DRM_TTM=m
...
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU=m
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_BACKLIGHT=y
CONFIG_DRM_NOUVEAU_DEBUG=y
...

Please note that all drivers are modularized, though I don't know if that
really matters.

Then, I suggest that you re-use the SlackBuilds available in:
/slackware-13.37-mirror/testing/source
to build Slackware package(s) for recent (but not git) version(s) of (mesa and)
libdrm, i.e. lindrm-24.25 and mesa-7.10.2.

If this work (which I am not sure at all as the other components of the X stack
and the libraries are pretty old in slackware-12.2),
you will be able to build xf86-video-nouveau-git_20110417_8378443 the same way.

PS Out of curiosity, why put a very recent X stack on top of a very old
distribution?

Hi Volodymyr

It seems like missing dependencies to me.

I had similar messages on my Ubuntu and Arch.
* Ubuntu
   "apt-get build-dep xf86-video-nouveau"
* Arch
   "makepkg -s /path/to/build/script/PKGBUILD"

Take a look for an appropriate solution for your distro, or simply use this
list
NOTE: Archlinux example - may be incomplete

* 'xorg-server'
* 'xorg-server-devel'
* 'xproto'
* 'fontsproto'
* 'libdrm'
* 'xf86driproto'
* 'randrproto'
* 'renderproto'
* 'glproto'
* 'videoproto'
* 'xextproto'
* 'xorg-util-macros'
* 'mesa'

Cheers
Emil
