i`m BEGGING YOU ALL FOR HELP i even can`t sleep because of this prbolem . I try to install driver for my graphic card....here you go :

*** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module.
*** WARNING ***
Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system.
You must go to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod subdir

Afterwards go to /lib/modules/fglrx and run './make_install.sh'

You don't have the module that monkeyboy the compiler guy had on his system. Recompile it from source. It looks like your just rpm -ivh'ing a binary. Don't do that. Ever. Did the weather channel make these drivers too?

Well as you see

I did compile the module succesful. And i thought that i should do what everyone posted on this, and rage3d forum . Drivers are RPM and i don`t see any other way..i`ve installed it

rpm -i --nodeps xxx.rpm

And everything went fine, first tried to convert rpm2tgz. But tgz file didn`t want to install :-/. So what should i do?

MAybe you know where i can get ati drivers in source ? :>

rpm -i --nodeps xxx.rpm will not build the module on Slack!
See if it did, at least, install the files correctly, specifically did it put a /fglrx dir in /lib/modules, if so the rest should be ok but you'll have to get into that dir to build the module yourself.
Before you startx, do a lsmod to see what's loaded.
You need agpgart and fglrx, if you see a "radeon" module, remove [...modprobe -r] it and modprobe fglrx to insert the needed module.

Unthamed it did everything fine. It was my fault, because i have compiled module radone into kernel, and i couldn`t remove it. Anyway , i compiled it as a module. And fglrx IS LOADED. But....i have another error :| here it is

agpGART is loaded i don`t know what to do else
