Running FC6, an ATI 9250 card, and installed the latest driver following the directions on:
All went smooth, built my RPMs, installed them, modified the xconfig file, rebooted, opened up the nice looking ATI icon in my menu, and got the following message:
Driver does not provide the FireGL X11 extensions!
Panel components will operate only partially.
Went to the ATI homepage. Did some searching to find:
"As of driver version 8.29.6 support for the following products is no longer included:
* Radeon? 8500/9000/9100/9200/9250
* Mobility? Radeon? 9000/9100/9200
* Radeon? IGP 9000/9100/9200
Users with these products should use driver version 8.28.8"
Downloaded the 8.28.8 .run script, used the following command-line:
sh ./ati-driver-installer-8.28.8.run --buildpkg Fedora/FC6
And now get the following build error:
ATI module generator V 2.0
==========================
initializing...
cat: /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build/include/linux/version-*.h: No such file or directory
Error:
kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.6.18-1.2798.fc6/build/include do not match current kernel.
they are versioned as ""
instead of "2.6.18-1.2798.fc6".
you might need to adjust your symlinks:
- /usr/include
- /usr/src/linux
error: Bad exit status from /tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.28.8-1-8569-root/tmp/rpm-tmp.64463 (%install)
RPM build errors:
Bad exit status from /tmp/ATI-fglrx-8.28.8-1-8569-root/tmp/rpm-tmp.64463 (%i nstall)
Removing temporary directory: fglrx-install
Where do I go from here? Looks like ATI has left earlier card versions in the dust and I'm stuck with 8.28.8 and earlier. Is there a way of fixing this so I can get it to work? on livna, I'm only seeing the latest (8.29.6) for FC6. ARe there plans for ealier cards as well?
