i run it and it only works with kernel 2.4 not 2.6

I had success using this method with 2.6 kernel only. It requires >> more work than Kano's scripts however.

i am having some problems following these instructions The problem is when i am trying to load the driver

modprobe fglrx
FATAL: Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.6/kernel/drivers/video/fglrx.ko): Invalid module format

fglrx: version magic '2.6.6-flavour PENTIUM4 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.6 SMP preempt 386 gcc-2.95'
fglrx: version magic '2.6.6-flavour PENTIUM4 gcc-3.3' should be '2.6.6 SMP preempt 386 gcc-2.95'

The symlink at /usr/bin/gcc -> /usr/bin/gcc-3.3 by default. Change it to point to gcc-2.95.
What kernel source are you using?

what ist exactly the problem?

you can download the driver from ati.com and the kernel source, if you haven't the sorces, and follow the instruction delivered by the driver.

the drivber ist named fglrx and must be loaded as modul in /etc/modules.conf

and of course in the XF86Config-4.
