Hello reader(s)!
I am very excited to have switched over to Linux (Fedora Core 6) from WHINEdose XP. Everything went without a hitch, and the system is working fine. I even installed Flash 9, java and many other stuff myself
I have recently found out the video card driver that comes with Fedora Core 6 is limited in graphics acceleration and that I'd have to install the ATI driver to make it fully functional.
Therefore, I have downloaded ATI's Proprietary Linux Driver 8.28.8 installer. Installing process was simple, until the end where it told me it experienced problems and told me to read the logs from the following file:
/usr/share/fglrx/fglrx-install.log
I checked the file and it contained the following text/error:
==========================
initializing...
Error:
kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.6.20-1.2925.fc6/build/include do not match current kernel.
they are versioned as ""
instead of "2.6.20-1.2925.fc6".
you might need to adjust your symlinks:
- /usr/include
- /usr/src/linux
[Error] Kernel Module : Failed to compile kernel module - please consult readme.
To make it easier on any kind person trying to help me, I'll list my system details below:
