FC2 and ATI 3.9.0

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



   Has anyone managed to get the ATI 3.9.0 fglrx drivers to
build against the new 2.6.6-1.406smp fedora kernel. I tried 
the following...

1) downloaded and installed fglrx-4.3.0-3.9.0.i386.rpm
2) downloaded http://rambo.its.tudelft.nl/~ewald/patches/fglrx-3.9.0-fc2.patch
and applied it to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
3) downloaded the kernel-sourcecode-2.6.6-1.406 rpm and installed it
4) created symlinks of /usr/src/linux and /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.406smp
to /usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.406.

Now the confusing part. In the past with Linux 2.4 kernels, I have
always just copied the appropriate config from /boot...
config-2.6.6-1.406smp in this case... to /usr/src/linux
and then did...
    cd /usr/src/linux
    make mrproper
    cp config-2.6.6-1.406smp .config
    make oldconfig
    make dep

It seems that 'make dep' is depreciated from Linux 2.6 and I
need to do 'make prepare' instead? However the order in which
I should do this is now unclear. If I replace 'make dep'
with 'make prepare' in the above sequence it seems to not
use the proper .config settings from 'make oldconfig'.
Also I find that /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.406smp has an 
actual build directory in it rather than the expected
symlink back to ../../../usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.406smp.
What should I do about that? I tried moving it aside
and replacing /lib/modules/2.6.6-1.406smp/build with
a symlink to ../../../usr/src/linux-2.6.6-1.406smp.
However I find that when I go into /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod
and do 'sh ./make.sh' I get a failed build...

==============================
You must change your working directory to /lib/modules/fglrx
and then call ./make_install.sh in order to install the built module.
==============================

Anyone else having better luck with this process?
