[WBEL-users] ATI fglrx module won't work

[Jan-Albert van Ree]

I've been banging my head for weeks now getting the ATI driver to work for 
my Radeon 9800Pro card... running a P4 chip, so normally I use an SMP 
kernel

In /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod I build the module
Then in /lib/modules/fglrx/ I use the install script which gives me loads of 
errors :

- creating symlink
- recreating module dependency list
depmod: *** Unresolved symbols 
in /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o
- trying a sample load of the kernel module

Hint: You are trying to load a module without a GPL compatible license
      and it has unresolved symbols.  The module may be trying to access
      GPLONLY symbols but the problem is more likely to be a coding or
      user error.  Contact the module supplier for assistance, only they
      can help you.

/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o: 
insmod /lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o failed
/lib/modules/2.4.21-27.0.2.EL/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.o: insmod fglrx 
failed
failed.

If I boot using a non-SMP kernel I get the same unresolved symbols errors.
Anybody else here with some solution? I've tried both an old (3.14.6) and 
the latest (8.10.19) version of fglrx
