Problems with Ati 3.9.0 driver and Nforce2 Chipset

Hi, I can get 3d acceration and everything working fine with 3.7.6 but today I removed (well thought I did) theses drivers, with removepkg. I then installed the new drivers. Now I have now 3d acceration, just mesa. A look at my dmesg it looks like its trying to load my 3.7.6 driver??

Any ideas would be great!

Try downloading this and extract the files /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod, and do it all over

You probably want to look here first though

Hey Nan, thanks for getting back to me so quick I also didn´t see this other thread:

I guess for some reason just removing the driver with pkgtool didn´t remove all of it. I have it working now!

Thanks again
