I want see if it makes any difference. I also want to experience messing with the kernel. Especially since I survived the first attempt.
------------------------- Here are the procedures if you decide to go with the ATI drivers though.
cd /usr/src/linux make mrproper make cloneconfig make dep
This part ran fine.
cd /lib/module/fglrx/build_mod and enter "./make.sh" (without quotes)
This is the error i got ... VMXLinux:/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod # ./make.sh ATI module generator V 2.0 ========================== probing for VMA API version... cleaning... patching 'highmem.h'... skipping patch for 'drmP.h', not needed doing script based build for kernel 2.4.x and similar compiling 'agpgart_be.c'...

Now I'm determined to get this to function, or function using the ati drivers. In my attempts to get back to the way it was before I got caught in that no dri loop. I got rid of it by not setting up the tv out of the card. I'm not sure if this will help the other person who's having problems. -- Franklin Maurer Using SuSE 8.2 Pro
