fglrx and linux 2.5.67

jpbarto · 04-07-2003, 08:38 PM

Has anyone been able to get the fglrx drivers (for the ati radeon 9700 pro) to compile for a 2.5.x series kernel?

There's so many extreme changes to AGP in the 2.5.x codebase that its doubtful the ATI drivers are going to compile straight, my best guess, mail ATI, they've got to have a 2.5.x port by now... maybe you can get into a beta test group of some sort.

Cheers,

The "extreme change" in the way the newer 2.5 handles modules in general seems to be the biggest issue.
Lots of "deprecated" warnings in relation with module.h when I tried to compile fglrx.o.
But Finegan has a point, I can't even build a working agp module for the kernel anyway, don't bring errors at build nor when inserted but is just unusable, all the rest is fine.
Tried .65 .65-ac2 and .66, same results.

well I compiled the agp module... loaded it... it detected the chipset and the aperture size... but I'm not gonna no if it works until I get fglrx compiled.

I sent an email to ati... we'll see if they respond.
