Hi yall,well, I fixed problem two, by checking the syntax closely, of the "make.sh" file & found the drm file name it was looking for & then included the path to that file in the "drmincludes=/xxxx"
This location, was effected by using Trunk-dri stuff from the dri sourcforge....
Progress.This led onto a new & incomprehensible error message-to me anyhow. Error message reads as follows....

Think I will send that onto ATI. Anyone hereabout install the ATI drivers & get 'em going-care to share? Greek Geek :-) Haralambos Geortgilakis wrote:
Hi all & Nikita,thanx man, it fixed that problem, by installing the "headers" & then pointing make.sh to them, only to produce a new error message....<snip> Error:XFree86 drm includes at /usr/src/kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4/include/../drivers/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. <snip> Um? I am using the "dri" stuff, which matches these criteria, methinks?I might do s search online, to see if some Debianista has repackaged the ATI stuff as .deb, so that I am not chasing my or ATI's tail.Eduard, so far, no feedback from me on the speed of "fgl_glxgears" yet.... ;-)H :-) Far duller than a serpent's tooth it is to spend a quiet youth.

So it is not in kernel-source-* But kernel-headers-* do contain it.Maybe you need to install kernel-headers-xxx and point ATI's script to /usr/src/kernel-headers/xxx ...Yes. Many people set a symlink from/usr/src/kernel-headers-<kernel-version>-<debian-version> to /usr/src/linux.Eg. for the bf2.4 kernel: apt-get install kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4 cd /usr/src ln -s kernel-headers-2.4.18-bf2.4 linux But I have wish: could make a small report about the quality of those drivers? Things that woke my interest: - Usage with 3D games (Quake3, UT2003) - Usage of the TV output (controlable?) and the second head - Usage with Powered-By-ATI but not Built-By-ATI cards Gruss/Regards, Eduard.
