I have been using the ATi drivers for my Radeon 9600XT, but am having trouble compiling a module for 2.6.x, which I apparently need for Open GL and other 3d acceleration. At first I didn't really notice anything was wrong cause I wasn't running anything 3D, but I've been wanting to try out the Linux version of UT2004 Demo to compare to my Windows FPS.
At any rate, when I go into the 2.6.x folder for the driver, and type make, it compiles a couple objects then exits with an error (can't find a file, or files missing, sorry I'm in Windows right now and don't remember the names). At any rate, I don't see any documentation on the ATi website or in the driver package about the 2.6.x folder, I just assumed it was the right one to make since the regular files (typing ./make.sh) complain about conflicts with DRI being in the kernel. Anyone using the ATi drivers in FC2-test1 and have 3D acceleration working? What do I need besides the kernel source, gcc, glib, and XFree86? I've updated all the packages available for FC2-test1.

This is not the best solution while testing a new distribution, but you could either back off to an older Fedora kernel, or get a stock kernel from kernel.org. I'm running the stock 2.6.3 with the fglrx module w/o problems. The later Fedora-Test kernels also produces the bad address error for me. --- Bob Chiodini Senior Engineer ASRC Aerospace M/S ASRC-18 Kennedy Space Center, FL 32899 321-867-6313 (voice) 321-867-6300 (fax) bob.chiodini@ksc.nasa.gov
