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 !
