I've updated my Suse 9.1 to the latest kernel upgrade (2.6.5-7.111 also updated the source package correspondingly)
My steps that I've followed trying to install the ATI proprietary graphic drivers is the following:

Downloaded the driver RPM from ATI (fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.6.i386.rpm)
Opened a console
cd'ed to where the file was situated
su
rpm -Uh --force fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.6.i386.rpm

Then I get the console output:

As instructed, I cd'ed to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
sh make.sh (because ./make.sh put out a permission denied)
Then the console output:

This is somehow confusing, what I can make of it is that it bitches that it needs X4.1, but X4.39 (stock SuSE 9.1 X86) is installed, which is >4.1, and that it needs kernel 2.4, but 2.6.5 is installed, also that my X86 drm is not mixing well with the drm it wants.

Any help on getting this fixed would be extremely welcome! The computer I'm trying to do this is a LG LM50 notebook (with MOBILITY 9200). Somehow I'm regretting that I didn't get a NB with a nVidia chipset...
