How do I get fglrx working under kernel 2.6?

I am running an IBM T41p 2373GEU, and I was trying to install Slackware 9.0 on it.

Anyway, I wanted the nice features of the 2.6 kernel (mainly power management), so I downloaded and compiled 2.6-test11. So far so good.

My sound works (though it has issues...) my NIC works (great) and overall things are going pretty well. My biggest problems are video and wireless.

I have a FireGL T2-128 card, which is supported under the ATI fglrx 3.2.8 drivers. I "modded" the drivers according to this site and it compiled and installed successfully.

Also, the module seems to load all right (modprobe fglrx) but when I run X, I get the notorious no screens found error.

I use fglrxconfig to set up my XF86Config (yes, I moved XF86Config-4 to XF86Config) but I still get the err.

Is there anything I can do?

Well you're doing better than me.

I tried 2.6.0-test 11 and couldn't even get the module to compile.

I may try again and use that site you linked for a bit of help.

I'll get back to this.
I'm reluctant because I got everything working right with 2.4.23 now
