    radeon mobility 9600 pro driver installation ?

    hi,

    I just bought my new dell inspiron 8600, which uses the radeon mobility 9600 pro graphic card.
    I installed knoppix 3.3 (02/09/2004) on hd, and tried to install ati official driver.

    I followed this tutorial :
    i also have 9600 pro and its working 3d now at LAST

    i recompiled the kernel

    From the ATI Linux driver page (
    http://www.ati.com/support/drivers/...deon-linux.html ) download the latest
    driver for XFree86 4.3.0 to /tmp. The file name should be similar to
    fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0.i386.rpm.

    As root run the following commands:
    cd /tmp
    alien fglrx-glc22-4.3.0-3.7.0.i386.rpm
    dpkg --force-overwite -i fglrx-glc22_4.3.0-4.7_i386.deb
    cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
    ./make.sh
    cd /lib/modules/fglrx
    ./make_install.sh
    fglrxconfig
    But when i do this, the ./make.sh wont work and says :
    root@box:/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod# ./make.sh
    ATI module generator V 2.0
    ==========================
    initializing...
    Error:
    XFree86 drm includes at /lib/modules/2.4.22-xfs/build/include/../drivers/char/drm do not fit this driver.
    This driver is designed to only work with X4.1.0 or higher.
    You can match this by getting Linux kernel 2.4.8 or higher.
    root@box:/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod#
    My X server version is 4.3.0.1, and the kernel is 2.4.24.
    Does anybody here know why this error occur ?

    At this state of installation, i have the ATI icon on the "K" menu, but it wont work. I can use my tft display at native resolution of 1680x1050, but i cant see any Divx movie, or play any 3d games, it's toot slow !

    thx a lot !

    lol same prob bro (im working on it for us)

    check back in 48hrs and i bet ill have it nicked.
    i have seen this driver working in pcLinuxOS with no effort.
    (if your in the loop, you know this is not my accomplishment)

    if you cant wait im working with (just from a google):
    -http://www.rage3d.com/content/articles/atilinuxhowto/
    -http://www.linux-gamers.net/modules/wfsection/article.php?articleid=22

    if you get it before me say hello and save me a little time:
    -nknownuser aaattt shaw dddot ca
    (hope spammers can't figure out that, but you can im pretty sure

    thanks for the info jerzfr

    Try these steps after installing as a 'DEBIAN' type system.

    I got mine to work, post if you still have problems

    I've had similiar problems. Post again if you can't get it to work and I'll post a longer message with the steps that worked for me. By the way if you got it to work and know the monitor timings for resolutions besides 1900x1200 can you post them here?
