Heh... i did know that, in fact, i even followed those instructions when i first installed 9.1..... but it did not work at all, its a very bad Read me... Liquid's tutorial is much better.
by the way Is it possible to install the 3.2.8 drivers in Suse 9.1? i just fiqured out how to install ut2004, and i cant stand the frame rate im getting from the 3.7.6 drivers :S
im drunk and high but i can still tell u that on the rag3d forum there is a patch for the 3.28 drivers just like the one i have on the tutorial for the 3.76 drivers happy gaming linux fuckin ownz joo im out peace
beh, just one question, between drivers 3.7.6 and 3.2.8 does the firegl_puplic.c file change at all in step 16? if so, where can i find the lines needed to be edited?
I followed the instructions and I get to the point where I run sh make_install.sh but then I get the error:
Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.4-52-smp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): invalid module format
Any ideas where I screwed up. Sorry if it is a stupid question. I dumped Windows about 2 weeks ago so still very new to this. I know enough to be dangerous to myself.
SCuMY, your problem is exactly what this thread is about
If youre on a VIA based mobo simply start reading from the beginning... basically you need to apply the regparm-patch and after that you have to edit 3 lines (if youre on a nforce mobo there's a little more to do, just follow the howto in the thread how to compile a kernel without REGPARM)

I got that error following the instructions on this post. The ones posted by LiQuID. My motherboard chipset is an intell chipset. But thanks for the reply. Any other ideas.
Its working now, although I have no idea why. I went back and verified my changes to the .c file and there were correct and I reran the the makes from that point and it worked. Thanks for the instructions and thanks for your ideas and help.
