Error compiling fglrx module
 
I'm following this HOWTO to install my ATI driver for Debian. I'm using a custom built 2.6.12.5 kernel.

On compiling the fglrx module I get this output:

Code:
bluebox:/usr/src/modules/fglrx# ./make.sh

Any ideas?

Thanks :)

The ATI drivers as of now do not support kernel versions over 2.6.12. In order to build them, you need a patch. The one recommended here is http://rambo.its.tudelft.nl/~ewald/f...4.13-fc4.patch I have yet to upgrade to the 2.6.12 kernel series, but will soon. Also, if you want to install these drivers the debian way, I suggest looking here

Of course, apply the patch by patch -p1 < fglrx_6_8_0-8.14.13-fc4.patch in the /usr/src/modules/fglrx directory. ;)

//EDIT:
Well I just upgraded :D The patch will complain it can't find the makefile to patch, thats okay as long as you are not using gcc-4.0 (which unfortuately most people are due to debian's upgrade, I still don't think its stable enough to use yet) If you are, add these lines to your makefile after the first line in the file:
Code:
ifeq ($(GCC_VER_MAJ),4)
GCC_VER_MAJ    = 3
endif
And you should be as good as gold!
