Good day
Don't know if this is the right place to ask, but... I have a Gentoo 2008 desktop machine with an ATI Radeon All in Wonder 8500DV, and am trying to use the ATI proprietary driver version 8.7 (the one from ATI, not the one from the portage tree). The module is compiled correctly (after some changes to my custom kernel, which is 2.6.25.13) and everything looks OK until the insertion of the module. When I try to modprobe the module, I get an error message saying: | Code: | | Error inserting fglrx (/lib/modules/2.6.25.13/kernel/drivers/char/drm/fglrx.ko): Operation not permitted |
I am indeed doing this as root. A look at the dmesg output reveals these messages: | Code: | [fglrx:KCL_enable_pat] *ERROR* Pat entry 2 is already configured
[fglrx] PAT is disabled!
[fglrx:firegl_init_module] *ERROR* firegl_stub_register failed |
I have already tryed to follow the instructions on this post: http://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=49707, and am sure that niether drm nor radeon modules are loaded at the time of the fglrx module's insertion, yet the above errors persist.
Can someone please tell me if I did something wrong, or how can I fix this?
Thanks in advance.
P.S.
Here's some info that may help diagnose the problem:

Did you create a /usr/src/linux symlink pointing to your kernel source?

Indeed:
| Code: | | lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 16 Jul 31 23:07 /usr/src/linux -> linux-2.6.25.13/ |
The module compiles with some warnings, but no errors. The install log, incliding build output, can be seen on the links in my last post. |

| It sounds like you have a R200 based card; if this is the case, fglrx doesn't support it anymore anyway (it only supports R300 upwards nowadays). You should be fine with the opensource driver though... |

 You are right (Wikipedia says so)... Guess it can't be helped. Thanks for your answers!  |
