Question: Is this a custom kernel build? If so, did you enable --- enable loadable module suppot ------ module versioning support or ------ source checksum for all modules If so, turn them both off and rebuild the kernel and try to load the fglrx module again... What happens is, your closed source, binary, module does not have the correct credentials for it to be installed... Thus the "operation not permitted" complaint... -- From the Desk of: Jerome D.
