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:

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.
