So far here is what I have done.
Under SU user:
1.Force install Newest ATI drivers from ati.com
rpm -i --force RPMNAME.rpm
worked fine.
2.Installed kernel-source 2.6.3.7
3. Ran ./make.sh under build_mod directory
/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
./make.sh
No problems (see below)
Code:

==============================
You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
==============================
NOW heres the problem
4. Ran ./make_install.sh under fglrx directory
/lib/modules/fglrx
./make_install.sh
Code:
- creating symlink
- recreating module dependency list
- trying a sample load of the kernel module
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.3-7mdksmp/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format
failed.
Any suggestions? is this because Im using the smp kernel (2.6.3.7smp) and the regular source (2.6.3.7)?
Thank you,
The GNUbie
