^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ You probably need to (re)compile the kernel module from sources to get a matching version for your updated kernel version.
Hi Marcus
Thanks. If I've downloaded the kernel and the matching kernel-source, I was assuming that I didn't need to recompile. Am I wrong here, then?
The error message says that the kernel-module fglrx couldn't be loaded. Can you load it manually with modprobe ? Which version of the fglrx driver are you running ? If you did update fglrx to a newer version than shipped with SuSE-9.2 you will have to recompile the kernel module coming as part of that driver from sources everytime you update the kernel, because SuSE can ship only the precompiled kernel module matching to the shipped version of the driver in the SuSE release.
