Problem with ATI drivers
 
I'm using this site to install ATI drivers on my debian box.

The packages installed fine... the compilation of the fglrx module did not fail, but had some warnings:

Code:

You must copy fglrx.ko to /lib/modules/2.6.12.5/misc
and then call 'depmod -ae' in order to install the built module.

There was some weird stuff in dmesg:
Code:

BTW I'm on kernel 2.6.12.5.

Any ideas? (I had the drivers running fine on version fglrx-8.14.13)

Thanks in advanced

If you continue working with that module, you'll find all 3D apps are failing or your X server won't start.
Go to www.ati.com and get the updated version - they have fixed these issues both with kernel driver and X.
The latest one at the time of writing was dated 08/17/05 and the version is 8.16.20.

They have their package in RPM.
