Hi all,

note : first time for me that i play with the kernel

I am trying to install the ati drivers for my Sapphire radeon 9000 pro and i get errors
I follow this little howto

ATI module generator V 2.0
==========================
initializing...
kernel includes at /usr/src/linux/include not found or incomplete
file: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h

I googled on that and found that i need theases packages ( ?? do i forget any ??)
kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.src.rpm
kernel-devel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.i686.rpm
so i install it and i get the same error.

How can i get kernel includes to be at the right place ?

Thanks

I think you need to install the sources for your running kernel. According to your sig, you have 2.6.9. Or are you using the 2.6.12 kernel you downloaded?

I am running 2.6.12-1.1372_FC3

Kernel source are kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.src.rpm ?

# rpm -qa | grep kernel
kernel-utils-2.4-13.1.49_FC3
kernel-2.6.9-1.667
kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3
kernel-devel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3

when i try to build rpms i get error :
[root@sam SPECS]# rpmbuild --rebuild /mnt/datadisk/DOWNLOADS/linux/kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.src.rpm
Installing /mnt/datadisk/DOWNLOADS/linux/kernel-2.6.12-1.1372_FC3.src.rpm

I fix (not realy fix it but, make it work) by using my 2.6.9-1.667 FC3 kernel that have headers and sources.

Now i am stuck in a strange desktop mode , 2048 * 168 instead of two 1024*768. This cause all the window to be opened in the middle of my two monitors and when i maximize windows they are maximized on the two monitors instead of one.

Anybody had this problem before ? any solution ?

Thanks

may be the modes is wrong in this section of your xorg.conf
Section "Screen"

#Option "backingstore"
Identifier "Screen0"
Device "ATI Graphics Adapter"
Monitor "Monitor0"
DefaultDepth 24
SubSection "Display"
# initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop
# Virtual 1280 1024
Viewport 0 0
Depth 24
Modes "1280x1024" "1024x768" "800x600"
EndSubSection
EndSection

When i generate xorg.conf using fglrxconfig with option Dual Head

Code:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen0"
    Device      "ATI Graphics Adapter connector 0"
    Monitor     "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    #Option "backingstore"
    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0  # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop
#        Virtual     1280 1024
    EndSubsection
EndSection
Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen1"
    Device      "ATI Graphics Adapter connector 1"
    Monitor     "Monitor1"
    DefaultDepth 24
    #Option "backingstore"

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0  # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop
#        Virtual     1280 1024
    EndSubsection
EndSection

With option Big desktop

Code:

Section "Screen"
    Identifier  "Screen0"
    Device      "ATI Graphics Adapter"
    Monitor     "Monitor0"
    DefaultDepth 24
    #Option "backingstore"

    Subsection "Display"
        Depth       24
        Modes       "1024x768"
        ViewPort    0 0  # initial origin if mode is smaller than desktop
#        Virtual     1280 1024
    EndSubsection
EndSection

#startx
......

Code:

(II) Primary Device is: PCI 02:00:0
(WW) fglrx: No matching Device section for instance (BusID PCI:2:0:0) found
(EE) No devices detected.

Fatal server error:
no screens found

To be able to start X i need to change in the device section
BusID "PCI:2:0:1" # vendor=1002, device=496e
TO
BusID "PCI:2:0:0" # vendor=1002, device=496e
