When you will have download it, do what I've said before, but after logging in Mandrake as root do ' mv /mnt/<your windows partition name>/kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk.rpm /root ' then ' cd /root ' and ' urpmi ./kernel-source-2.4.21-0.13mdk.rpm '
done downloading
gona do that stuff soon
im doing some importend stuff atm
i hope i can do it soon this evening or maybe tommorow
i hope u still around then
ok installing went fine
after that i looked in usr/src
and yes it was there
i did your command in -sf file linux
but i got this message
-bash: symtax error near unexpected token 'in'
Ok i did the install and it went fine
i did the ./make.sh
and it WORKED
after that i did ./make_install
and it installed!!!
i got this message after install:
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.21-0.13mdk/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o will taint the kernel:
non-GLPL license -proprietary (c) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Stannberg, Germany
Then when you are logged in as a user in your default desktop (KDE probably)
1/ open a 'konsole'
2/ type ' su ' and enter your root password
3/ type ' kate /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 & '
4/ Under the Device section change the line ' Driver "xxxxx" ' with ' Driver "fglrx" '
Can you try to edit this file with vi (for example) and replace what I've said before ' Driver "radeon" ' with 'Driver "fglrx" '
1/ Type ' vi /etc/X11/XF86Config-4 ' as root (so use su if you are logged as a normal user)
2/ Go to the specific line to be changed
3/ Press the [INSERT]
4/ Replace the line
5/ Press the [ESC] key and ' :wq '
6/ Exit from root, and type ' startx ' as a normal user, if it doesn't work try to reboot
Can you take a look at the ATI redme file if it is mentioned something about the file ' modules.conf '.
I will be absent for a moment so try all that, hope this will work
