ATI radeon 7000 drivers/setup


Hi there,
I have a radeon 7000 64mb video card and and have been trying to instal the correct drivers and dri for 3d acceleration to use with cedega. when i originally ran the cedega tests everything worked except the 3d acceleration part. since then i've been messing about with absolutely no idea what i'm doing. i've installed dri common and everything went fine but when i try to run the radeon 7000 dri install program i get

Compiling...
ERROR: Kernel modules did not compile

The DRI drivers can not be installed without the latest kernel modules.
Installation will be aborted. See the dri.log file for information on
what went wrong.

[root@brynn radeon-20060403-linux.i386]#

the dri log says

Makefile:173: *** Cannot find a kernel config file. Stop.

how do i install the kernel modules?
i am using 2.6.17-1.2157_FC5 at the moment
there is some info about the kernel modules here http://dri.freedesktop.org/wiki/Download but i don't understand any of it.
i need the kind of instructions the a monkey could follow please.
any help is greatly appreciated dudes
