You either don't have the fglrx module loaded for the kernel, or you don't have it compiled for your kernel. That fglrx X driver requires the fglrx module to be present. You can try doing: m-a a-i -t fglrx That should build and install the module for the current kernel. To load it: modprobe fglrx (to make it load at boot, add fglrx to /etc/modules). -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
