It depends of the model of Your ATI video card. If the model is <2400,
the latest driver You can use, is Catalyst 9.3. If the model video
card is >2400, You can use the latest driver, but for example for 9.8,
it need a few retouching in a source file:

https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=535216#c6

After a install atempt with sh ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run, to
recreate the files in /lib/modules/fglrx, I removed the if rutine related to
"p
= find_task_by_vpid(pid);"
The source file to edit is:
/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/firegl_public.c

deletting the if routine "p = find_task_by_vpid(pid);"

they was about four lines, and remaked the kernel
module with
/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod # ./make.sh

And later called:

/lib/modules/fglrx # ./make_install.sh

I try to load the module:

modprobe fglrx

I got no errors.

Then I configured the driver with the aticonfig command.

Trying your steps, I get an error when trying to run
/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/make.sh:
AMD kernel module generator version 2.1
kernel includes at /usr/src/linux/include not found or incomplete
file: /usr/src/linux/include/linux/version.h

Kernel source & include packages are installed, and I have tried
reinstalling them with no effect.  Video card is a 4830.  I've tried
using 9.9, 9.10(beta) and 9.11(developer test build).

I'd love to get 3d working so I can properly test 11.2!


You executed first off all "sh
ati-driver-installer-9-8-x86.x86_64.run" (or the version do You want
to install)?

The version of the kernel-source is the same than the running kernel?
