catalyst 9.11 and 9.12 driver --buildpkg fails on new kernel


i have Slackware 13.0 installed with the newest stable kernel (2.6.32.3) on an hp notebook with ati hd3200 igp. what happens is that when i try to buildpkg the catalyst drivers, it fails on the new kernel but not on the original one. i've been searching for a solution for a few days now. found a few that involved patching some files, but none seem to work or i can't make them work. i could probably use the binary installer but i would prefer not to.

any help appreciated. here's the output:

Code:
sh ./ati-driver-installer-9-11-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Slackware/Only_Module
Created directory fglrx-install.hokais
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

catalyst just doesn't support 2.6.32.* yet, nor am I aware of any patch to get it working. You could try tracking one down on google, or perhaps keep an eye on the catalyst section of the phoronix forums to see if one gets posted:

The guys over at Zenwalk have a functional package for it the 2.6.32.2 kernel. Maybe take a look at that.

http://support.zenwalk.org/viewtopic.php?f=36&t=12050

With a link to a work-around for an error issue:

http://support.zenwalk.org/viewtopic...130256#p130256

I haven't tried it yet, but will be soon.
