Question Can't Install ATI Catalyst Driver

Hi all, I'm a new member in this forum, and this is my first post.
I've just upgrading my Slackware to Slackware-Current, and now i use kernel 3.10.17
Code:
bash-4.2$ uname -r
3.10.17-smp
But I can't install ATI Catalyst Driver, each time I try to build fglrx, certainly shows an error message like this
Code:
root@slackware:/home/fian# sh amd-catalyst-13.4-linux-x86.x86_64.run --buildpkg Slackware/Slackware
Created directory fglrx-install.r39RNg
Verifying archive integrity... All good.

The 13.4 Catalyst driver does not work on 3.10.x, but AMD has posted a new version of their Catalyst driver, 13.11 Beta V6, that works fine. Despite the beta status of this driver, I have not personally encountered any difficulties.

Before running the installer, however, type this in your console:
Code:
ln -s /lib/modules/3.10.17/build/include/generated/uapi/linux/version.h /lib/modules/3.10.17/build/include/linux/version.h
The installer will not work without it!

You probably know this already, but after the installer finishes, the xorg.conf file has to be updated. Type this in to make it happen:

Code:
aticonfig --initial
This will update the file automatically, and then you should be good to go!

Hope this helps.

Regards,

Matt

Hmm, I didn't see this, and yet the installer worked without any apparent problem. What sort of problem should I have seen?

Perhaps the newer versions of Catalyst don't require the link to be made, as the earlier ones did (I used 13.1 prior to this, and the installer would err out if I didn't make that link). Just to be on the safe side, however, I ran the commmand. Better safe than sorry, even if the newer Catalyst drivers don't require it.

Regards,

Matt

P.S. The reason I said what I did was a reference to this web site, which references the 3.8.x kernel version (however,this was applicable up to 3.9.x). Perhaps the changes in Catalyst 13.11 included the information.

Just my 2 cents.
