System-
ATI Radeon 9000
suse 9.0

Hi, whenever I run ./make_install.sh i get -

- creating symlink
- recreating module dependency list
- trying a sample load of the kernel module
Warning: loading /lib/modules/2.4.21-144-athlon/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o will taint the kernel: non-GPL license - Proprietary. (C) 2002 - ATI Technologies, Starnberg, GERMANY

failed.

and that messes up the whole install. anyone have a solution?

nevermind, i got it.

could you tell me how to force the install cause i recompiled my own kernel and it does the same thing...thanks, Antonivs

installed in runtime level 3

well, the operation not permitted probably means it wasnt done in root...

Nope, for future reference, this error with fglrx usually means that you've already got something pertaining to DRI in the kernel. Can be anything from agpgart to the kernel or X's radeon module.

Check the output of dmesg.

Hello,
since i have problems with ATI's drivers
on my debian i just wonder do i need to install DRI prior to installing ATI's driver!?
also after installing the driver,
should i precompile the kernel and install it,
i did that and looks like i messed my partition since i cannot load linux anymore.


cant figure how to get my A10 running on 2.4.X kernel and debian.

tried all tutorials on the web.
i am new to linux hardware installation.

can anyone give me some advice!? i might give more details if smn is willing to help me set it up.
