RE: ATI Drivers fail with latest fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6
It won't work with ATI kernels, but if you download a vanilla kernel and
follow these directions:
http://www.rage3d.com/content/articles/atilinuxhowto/
you should be able to get the driver to work, but have fun configuring
everything in the kernel. With the (very) new ATI driver I didn't have
to do anything to edit the driver - just make kernel changes, the older
one I had to go through and edit the firegl_public.c file all over the
place.

That's what I did. I did a make from the
/lib/modules/build_mod/2.6.x and it
won't install. 2D works, but I want 3D. Could you explain the steps exactly?
Thanks,

Works for me. It doesn't work with the FC1 packaged kernels, AFAIK, but
a custom compiled or stock 2.6.3 works fine. Make sure you go into the
2.6.x folder and make instead of running the standard build_mod file.
Only problem I've had with the ATI drivers are the nVidia drivers I used
before I upgraded from a GF2 Ultra to a R 9600XT didn't uninstall all
the way. X still was looking for a symlink to nVidia's GL libraries,
but I fixed that.
Now to try later today with 2.6.4...
