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

i may be mistaken, but 3.7.6 under 2.6 kernel seems noticably faster than it did with the 2.4 kernels in suse 9.0

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?

Having some problems

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)

Best from cologne

Wolfgang

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.
