Ok mr. pedantic - you didn't understand my joke!
If it was a bugtracking system than yo uwould answer at least one of the
questions. But you didn't - you didn't also the last time. So it is for me a
mailing list. As you don't provide a solution or answer questions but only
write mails!
Sorry if it is insulting you - but for me this is true!
NO I have a solution to the problem and it looks like following:
Prerequisites:
1) download latest version of ati driver (I have used
ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run)
2) download the appropriate patch for 2.6.20 kernel
wget
http://whoopie.gmxhome.de/linux/patches/2.6.20/fglrx-8.35.5-for-2.6.20.patch
Installation
3a) create rpm for 10.2 (you should choose to build SUSE rpm and because
SUSE10.2 is still not listed choose 10.1)
sh ati-driver-installer-8.35.5-x86.x86_64.run
3b) install the rpm
rpm -Uvh fglrx_6_9_0_SUSE101-8.35.5-1.i386.rpm
3c) patch the source and backup
cd /usr/src/kernel-modules/fglrx/
patch -p0 < PATH_TO_WHERE_WAS_SAVED/fglrx-8.35.5-for-2.6.20.patch
cd /usr/src/
tar cjvf fglrx-backup.tar.bz2 kernel-modules/fglrx/
4a) remove RPM, rebuild and install
rpm -e fglrx_6_9_0_SUSE101-8.35.5
tar xjvf fglrx-backup.tar.bz2
cd kernel-modules/fglrx/
4b) change the clean taarget code to following:
vi Makefile
....
....
clean:
rm -fr *.o *.ko .??*
or manually clean the code
rm -fr *.o *.ko .??*
4c) build the module and copy:
make
cp fglrx.ko /lib/modules/`uname -r`/misc/
(if directoy does not exist then create it)
5a) load modules and restart xdm (actually kdm)
modprobe -v fglrx
5b) check the Xorg logs
more /var/log/Xorg.0.log
5c) restart X
/etc/init.d/xdm restart
