Yeah, for Mandrake you want Xorg.

Not quite sure what you mean, ATI paste? You try just doing a search/scan of your hard drive to find fglrx?

Well, I have become very frustrated. I bet I've read every thread that has to do with these ATI drivers and I've tried all the tips listed, but mine still won't work. Each time I try, I do a "fglrxinfo" only to find the Mesa drivers still there. I've even tried upgrading to 2006 and then doing all these tips and it still doesnt work. Does anybody know why I seem to be the only one?

I just got the new packages from plf (I run x86_64), installed the new kernel 2.6.12-14mdk and rebooted.

At boot, the dkms detected everything, compiled and voila!
Nothing else to do :-)

Is there something that I need before following this steps?, libraries, packages, something.
When I was in step 4, I didn't found the directory fglrx-* in /usr/src, but I have /lib/modules/fglrx and here is a make_install.sh and a build_mod directory with a make.sh, so I tried running it, but it looked for /usr/src/linux/include and it doesn't exist. I tried creating it, but then it looked for a file called linux.version.h (obviously it wasn't here).
Please tell me what to do, this is the third Linux distribution I try and it's always the same problem.

If you run Mandriva, just add the plf source repository with urpmi.
You can set up your sources by going there: http://club.mandriva.com/xwiki/bin/D...s/MirrorFinder .

Then try this:

urpmi --auto-select

or just go with rpmdrake and search for packages with ati in their name (type ati and search).

Ok, I used urpmi --auto-select, then I opened rpmdrake and I installed ati-xorg-a-lot-of-numbersplf and nothing happened.
The installation created a /usr/src/linux-2.6.12-18mdk directory and ati-the-same-numbersplf with a make.sh file, so I tried to continue with step 4, but it still doesn't find what it needs.
Then, after some "¡maldito linux hijo de tu...!" shouts, I tried to install the driver from ATI's website, but I need to uninstall the ati-xorg driver and I can't because it's needed for a dkms-ati package, and when I select this dkms for uninstall, rpmdrake closes itself.
I'm so desperate. I have horrible toughts about leaving Linux and going back to Windows. I really need help. Please, help me!

Did you reboot?

At boot time dkms will install the ati driver for you..
