After that it should work
Thank you very much, I realised what I was doing wrong. Its working thanks
Can you tell us what you did to fix it so that the archive shows the solution for the next person with this problem?

Sure Thanks to Anders Johansson for the input The error is here again as follows: Running the rpm from the ATI website fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.1.i386.rpm rpm -Uvh -force fglrx-4.3.0-3.14.1.i386.rpm you youw will get an error: That start with something about your card won't have 3D support, There will be some intructions in that error see below. the rpm still reports succesfull install. ===================================== XFree86 drm includes at /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.108-default/build/include/../driver s/char/drm do not fit this driver. This driver is designed to only work with X4.1.0 or higher. You can match this by getting Linux kernel 2.4.8 or higher. *** WARNING *** Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system. You must go to /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod subdir and execute './make.sh' to build a fully customed kernel module. Afterwards go to /lib/modules/fglrx and run './make_install.sh' in order to install the module into your kernel's module repository. (see readme.txt for more details.) ======================================== Only if you try following these instructions it won't compile. Switch to init 3 and login as root if not already, then read carefully as I did not the first time :-) (this fix is posted by Anders Johansson, thank you Anders) cd /lib/modules/2.6.5-7.108-default rm build ln -s /usr/src/linux-2.6.5-7.108 build OK Now just follow the instructions in the error above and it will work. Don't forget to run fglrxconfig afterwards.
