OK. Now it works. Somehow the default in LILO was wrong and ponted to 2.4. There were also 2.6 option. By selecting it my system booted up into 2.6.x and now the RPM is getting installed just right. Thank you for help, phunni and Randuev! [EDIT] And now I have working 3D drivers installed. Thank you guys again!

hmm... strange. I installed the MDK10 from scratch (didn't update). Isn't there supposed to be 2.6.x kernel? I installed the kernel src RPM usin mandrake's install software. Just typed "kernel" in search and checked the box and installed it. I'm confused. [EDIT] Yeah. I really have ended up with 2.4.25 somehow. How I can fix this?

Ok. Installed all developer RPMs. The same problems still exist. Tried to run the RPM again and then the make.sh. Here is the output from ls [root@meitrix linux-2.6.3-4mdk]# la -lag /usr/src/ total 20 drwxr-xr-x 5 root 4096 Mar 16 00:26 ./ drwxr-xr-x 13 root 4096 Mar 15 02:58 ../ drwxr-xr-x 2 root 4096 Mar 16 10:00 ATI/ lrwxrwxrwx 1 root 16 Mar 16 00:26 linux -> linux-2.6.3-4mdk/ drwxr-xr-x 20 root 4096 Mar 16 00:26 linux-2.6.3-4mdk/ drwxr-xr-x 7 root 4096 Mar 14 22:51 RPM/ I'm just wondering why the make.sh mentiones "2.4.25-2mdk"? and the driver RPM is: fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6.i386.rpm

No. It still results the same error I quoted in my first post into this thread :( I'm clearly missing some instlled RPMs here.. Just don't know which. I have the kernel sources installed and the gcc. This makes me feel myself as a complete idiot...

thanks for help but I just run into another problem I can't solve. I installed the kernel sources in the install software and tried to run make.sh ATI module generator V 2.0 ========================== initializing... Error: kernel includes at /usr/src/linux/include do not match current kernel. they are versioned as "" instead of "2.4.25-2mdk". you might need to adjust your symlinks: - /usr/include - /usr/src/linux ???? Hate to say but I think these kind of problems are those that will prevent Linux to be used in mainstream desktop for a very long time. Why this driver is done this way... there must be some easier way of doing things. I'm almost ready to give up with all the 3d stuff... Strange though that I got these drivers running in 9.2 easily. What's so different in 10?

Can you please help me. Encountered a lot of problems. I'm running MDK 10 CE with Radeon 9800. Downloaded the latest driver RPM from ATI. (version 3.7.6) First problem popped up when installing the RPM. file /usr/X11R6/lib/libGL.so.1.2 from install of fglrx-4.3.0-3.7.6 conflicts with file from package libxfree86-4.3-29mdk I used "--force" to go past that one and got the following error message: Preparing... ########################################### [100%] 1:fglrx ########################################### [100%] *** Trying to install a precompiled kernel module. *** WARNING *** Tailored kernel module for fglrx not present in your system.

Thank you, -Pasi

I have the same problem with my TB600 sounds. Can't find a way to get them working. Currently running MDK10 CE. Anybody hava any succestions?
