LinuxQuestions.org - ATI drivers

im trying to install the ATI drivers from their website. when i was on 2.4.22 kernel even though the rpm had dependencies it still installed. now i cant seem to install it on 2.6.5.

ive tried:
rpm -i fglrx*
and it just gave me the list of dependencies it needed

rpm -i --force fglrx*
this just gave me nothing like everything went well but when i tried to run 'fglrxconfig' the command was not found

rpm -i --force --nodeps fglrx*
this gave me a segmentation fault

i also tried the rpm2tgz command and it seemed like it installed but no command found again on 'fglrxconfig' so i 'removepkg fglrx*' to take out whatever it did install

any other suggestions? i swear...this worked before and ive had no problems in installing this driver.

edit: i tried going to the /lib/modules/fglrx dir and make.sh and make_install.sh...heres the output:

Code:

ATI module generator V 2.0

==========================

initializing...

cleaning...

patching 'highmem.h'...

skipping patch for 'drmP.h', not needed

skipping patch for 'drm_os_linux.h', not needed

assuming new VMA API since we do have kernel 2.6.x...

doing Makefile based build for kernel 2.6.x and higher

make -C /lib/modules/2.6.5/build SUBDIRS=/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/2.6.x modules

make[1]: Entering directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5'

*** Warning: Overriding SUBDIRS on the command line can cause

***          inconsistencies

make[2]: `arch/i386/kernel/asm-offsets.s' is up to date.

  Building modules, stage 2.

  MODPOST

make[1]: Leaving directory `/usr/src/linux-2.6.5'

build succeeded with return value 0

duplicating results into driver repository...

done.

==============================

You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx

and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.

==============================

#cd ..

#sh make_install.sh

- creating symlink

- recreating module dependency list

- trying a sample load of the kernel module

done.

still no luck...i try running fglrxconfig: command not found.
