We need to patch? I manage to build the driver without patching.

Then it may be for 8.37 that you need to patch.

So where did you find that patch Michael? I wasn't aware 8.37 had been released (perhaps there's a beta floating around the interweb?).

Cheers for the help!

The patch was written by a fglrx package maintainer for Ubuntu.

The 8.37 will be available later this month.

lenrek, you did not have to patch, as you have a x86 machine, and the issue is x86_64 (aka amd64) only (the patch looks like this, I don't have further information)

Oh... Thanks for the info.

i can't apply the patch on my gentoo:

gentoo 2.6.x # patch -p0 < ~/fglrx-2.6.22.patch
patching file firegl_public.c
Hunk #1 FAILED at 144.
1 out of 1 hunk FAILED -- saving rejects to file firegl_public.c.rej

kernel 2.6.22rc3 patched with ragnarok patches.
will 8.37 need this patch?

this is the output if I try to compile:

How do I apply this patch please?

[slacker]

I did it!!
It works fine now, there as some warnings like always tho.

How did you get it to work? I have applied the patch, verified it made the changes, and when I compile it magically seems to undo itself and give me the same error I had before the patch. After attempting to compile, I looked back at firegl_public.c and it had indeed undone itself because the changes the patch was supposed to make are no longer there. This is really frustrating, can anybody help me?
