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'...

This sounds like it might be a compiler error like I got using the gcc 3.3.1 files, not sure. I used the 3.3-43 files and got things to work well with it though. I think the version you are using should work ok too, but someone else may have to jump in on this part to help. In the mean time, I will do a bit of detective work. -----------------------------------
i even got an error when installing the ati rpm ... well it installed it just said I couldn't use 3d.(there was stuff about the make.sh and the next step as well, this is the jist of it)
Error: kernel includes at /lib/modules/2.4.20-4GB-athlon/build/include do not match current kernel. they are versioned as "2.4.20-4GB" instead of "2.4.20-4GB-athlon". you might need to adjust your symlinks: - /usr/include - /usr/src/linux ===============
This is normal and what you should get, since you are not using the k_deflt kernel on your system, so no worries there. ---------------------------
Any advice on how to proceed? 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.
