I have a problem while installing the latest (3.7.6) drivers for my radeon 9500pro/9700 on Sarge.
I run kernel 2.4.24-1-686 and XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1
After firsttime install I found in the logfile these errors
(II) LoadModule: "GLcore"
(II) Loading /usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a
Skipping "/usr/X11R6/lib/modules/extensions/libGLcore.a:debug_xform.o": No symb

And

So I deciced to Google a bit.
After some intense reading I found out that there seems to be a problem with libGL.so.1.2 . One source suggested dpkg-divert --package fglrx-glc22 --add /usr/X11R/lib/libGL.so.1.2 and since QIII was complaining about libGL.so as well I decided to go with that suggestion.
The next step was dpkg --force-overwrite -i fglrx_4.2.0-4.7_i386.deb followed by cd /lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod/ and then ./make.sh
lol bash came with a nice permission denied. At this point I started to count back in ProtoVulcan and steam emerged from my ears.
So # sh make.sh and the damn thing started verbosing and life was sweet. For about 1.34563 second. And then this error msg prompted.
:/lib/modules/fglrx/build_mod# sh make.sh
ATI module generator V 2.0

initializing...
Error:
XFree86 drm includes at /lib/modules/2.4.24-1-686/build/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.
How the [EMAIL PROTECTED] that [EMAIL PROTECTED]@$ script figures that kernel 2.4.24-1-686 is lower than kernel 2.4.8 or higher and that XFree86 Version 4.2.1.1 is lower than XFree86 Version 4.1.0 or higher.
any suggestions?
