radeon 9800 driver install problems
 
ok before trying to download drivers a ran xdpyinfo | more
to see what version of xf86 and i get
Code:

root@Home:~# xdpyinfo | more
name of display:    :0.0
version number:    11.0
vendor string:    The XFree86 Project, Inc
vendor release number:    40300000
XFree86 version: 4.3.0

so i downloaded the 4.3.0 version of the drivers.
when i tried to install the rpm it said
Code:

root@Home:~# rpm -ivh fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.2.5.i586.rpm

so i went and downloaded/installed glib 2.3, but i'm still getting the same dependency violations that i was before.

i'm running slack 9.0 with the 2.4.21 kernel. can any of you help a poor n00b in need? i'd really like to get this installed cuz vesa drivers on a radeon 9800 pro is a shame indeed. thanks in advance

one thing still bothers me though....when i type lsmod i see fglrx in there but in the column under used by it says 0. shouldn't there be a 1 in there since i'm in X? just makin sure....
