After running autogen.sh run ./configure --help, what you are looking for is this: (...) By default, `make install' will install all the files in `/usr/local/bin', `/usr/local/lib' etc. You can specify an installation prefix other than `/usr/local' using `--prefix', for instance `--prefix=$HOME'. (...) So in your case, like me, you use ./configure --prefix=/usr I also suggest you to use checkinstall so that installing, updating and removing the driver is easier and plays well with the package manager. Happy new year everyone. Tony Sweeney escreveu:

This is with a VGA monitor plugged in to the card. Now, having done my bit, I'd like to ask for a little configuration help. By default, the drivers are build into /usr/local, and on Ubuntu Gutsy 7.10, this isn't one of the default places the X server looks for drivers, so if I simply configure the driver in my xorg.conf it doesn't get loaded. I haven't built X since the XFree86 days when I used to run a Savage4 and similar vintage ATI card. I need to figure the cleanest way to either build the drivers into the default /usr instead of /usr/local, or configure my X server to look in /usr/local (specifically, /usr/local/lib/xorg/modules/drivers) for drivers to load. I will be happy to run any further diagnostics on request once I get this running.
Tony.
