ATi drivers AGAIN (teh sux0r)

Yes, I know, again... This time using Ubuntu Linux (4.10, kernel 2.6.8.1)!

Very frustrating, the ATI linux drivers

I am trying to install the drivers (download from ati.com):

Code:

blabla@blabla:/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod $ sudo ./make.sh 
ATI module generator V 2.0
==========================
initializing...
Error:
XFree86 drm includes at /lib/modules/2.6.8.1-3-386/build/include/../drivers/char/drm do not fit this driver.
This driver is designed to only work with X4.1.0 or higher.
You can match this by getting Linux kernel 2.4.8 or higher.

What can I do about this? (I had the exact same problem with FC2, it needen patching of some sort :S)

edit: I reinstalled the kernel-source (2.6.8.1) and the kernel-headers. No work.

Help me out here!

Dunno if you're still looking for an answer to this...

Try looking here, I'm about to go through the ATI driver installation process.

Looks like it should be easier than trying to make the raw ATI driver work.

Good luck!

Yep, got the problem solved already

I followed the exact same guide a few months ago
