ATI notebook drivers


Having a problem I can't figure out.

I installed the ATI drivers, using all their instructions and everything was fine. I know they installed (at least mostly) correctly because my desktop resolution changed to my notebook native res as normal.

However when I run a game (say Neverball) I get the box that says "No 3D graphics card available".

Suggestions please?

So I looked in the fglrx install log and have this text:

Quote:
[Message] Kernel Module : Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
[Message] Kernel Module : Precompiled kernel module version mismatched.
[Message] Kernel Module : Found kernel module build environment, generating kernel module now.
ATI module generator V 2.0
==========================
initializing...
kernel includes at /usr/src/linux/include not found or incomplete
file: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to compile kernel module - please consult readme.
I could really use some help with this.
